With the new Black Nite dedication, here are the Wisconsin historical landmarks in Milwaukee County

Wisconsin’s first LGBTQ historic landmark was dedicated this week near the former Black Nite tavern in Milwaukee, at the corner of West St. Paul and North Plankinton avenues.

The location is the site of the state’s first LGBTQ uprising in 1961, and the landmark honors Josie Carter, a Black transgender person who led the defense against attackers.

It’s one of 58 official state historical landmarks in Milwaukee County, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society.

From the invention of the typewriter to Wisconsin’s lime industry, this list has something new to learn about, even for locals.
