HISTORY
Milwaukee’s Polish community organized the first Polish Fest in 1982 to celebrate Polish heritage and to begin raising funds for the building of a Polish cultural center. In 1987, land was purchased in Franklin, WI, and in August of 2000 the Polish Center of Wisconsin opened its doors. Designed in the style of a Polish country manor house, the Center embodies Poland’s rich cultural heritage and reflects a long tradition of gracious hospitality. Today the Polish Center serves as a meeting place for the Polish community and a venue for numerous cultural, social and civic events.
