Light ‘er Up

At the height of the beer garden days in Milwaukee, brewers needed fantastic entertainment to attract the crowds of thirsty locals. One of these acts involved the “Flaming Damsel.” This mysterious lady made her living by lighting herself afire and diving from a high platform over the river. Always a repeat performance!

Local Artist Kieth Ward created a scene in Ludeman’s Garden.  The image shows the now-famous bridge in the background…something that came after the parks became public.
