A fun, affordable tourist destination. Until this tour, I had no knowledge of the Pabst family philanthropy. I also was surprised and saddened to learn that many mansions once lined the same street, but were demolished. The place is lavish and beautiful...a must-see for Milwaukee tourists!
I really, really, wanted to go here ever since my first visit to Milwaukee, but did not get a chance to until last winter. Dragged my boyfriend and his parents here a few days after Christmas and took a self-guided tour of the mansion, which was beautifully decorated for the holidays. I liked all the rooms especially the Captain's study, with dark wood furniture all around and a fireplace. The Ladies parlor was a bit too...PINK for my taste, but it was still neat to see.
What I liked best was browsing at the Victorian Gift Shoppe where they sold Pabst Blue Ribbon items like t-shirts, mugs, beer glasses and a cool Pabst bottle key-chain light! I would probably not go back to the mansion, but may stop by the gift shop again because PBR rules :-)!
