It began as a lovely light snowfall on Jan. 28\, 1947. It stopped for a while that evening\, and then it came back\, and it just wouldn't leave. In the end\, the blizzard of 1947 brought 18.1 inches of snow\, 60 mph winds\, drifts of 10 feet or more\, and tales tha t might seem equally tall - if you had not been there.
But people who lived through the blizzard of 1947 remember it quite well. Presentatio n by Richarad Pfeiffer.

Forest Home Cemetery&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;Halls of History&rdquo\; commemorates Milwaukee&rsquo\;s illustrious individual s who claimed this as their final resting place. By the late 1800s\, the r oster of residents amounted to a &ldquo\;Who Was Who in Milwaukee&rdquo\; and included Milwaukee&rsquo\;s beer barons\, its early industrialists (in cluding Edward Allis whose company supplied much of the equipment for RHS& rsquo\;s Messer/Mayer Mill)\, early educators\, Civil War heroes\, artists \, governors\, pioneering women and black leaders among others.
Th e history of Milwaukee&rsquo\;s first &ldquo\;park\,&rdquo\; established i n 1850\, with its rolling hills\, wandering pathways\, signature trees and Victorian garden is much more than a &ldquo\;silent city.&rdquo\; Here th e words &ldquo\;place of repose&rdquo\; carried additional meaning for the living in the 19th century (today as well) where lessons were gained amid scenes of tranquil beauty regarding the order of nature itself.
W hat gave rise to its establishment? . . . What was its illustrious blue pr int? . . . Who are its famous residents? . . . and How and why did it beca me a haven for 19th century Milwaukeeans starved for green space and seeki ng a destination for picnicking\, gardening and relaxing?
