May 23, 2014 • Milwaukee County Post • 7 By DWAYNE BUTLER Post Editor MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Preservation Alliance said that it has reached a fundraising goal to purchase and install landmark guide signs to make people aware of the Milwaukee Soldiers Home National Historic Landmark District. The Wayfinding and Awareness cam- paign raised $30,000. Signs will be placed along Interstate 94 and the Hank Aaron State Trail. "Through our community outreach and advocacy, we often hear from longtime Milwaukee residents who never knew that we have such an important and amazing his- toric place right in our backyard," said Dawn McCarthy, president of the MPA board of directors. "We organized the Wayfinding Campaign to help raise aware- ness and recognition, especially at the local level." The MPA began the awareness campaign with a free, downloadable self-guided walk- ing tour app, funded by the David and Julia Uihlein Foundation. The Soldiers Home walking tour smartphone app was complete with historical photos, audio narration and key historic facts about this district. Following the launch of the walking tour app, the MPA set its sights on signs to con- tinue to drive awareness of the Soldiers Home through its fundraising. Thanks to what the MPA said was an overwhelming response from the communi- ty, including individual donations and a $5,000 matching grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the MPA made its goal. "The Soldiers Home Historic District is one of the most important historic land- marks in the entire region and this signage will greatly impact awareness and apprecia- tion of this cultural asset," McCarthy said. "The Milwaukee Preservation Alliance would not have been able to achieve our goal without the generous support of the many individuals and groups who care deeply about the Soldiers Home. These contribu- tions show that our community values high- ly the Milwaukee Soldiers Home Historic District." The MPA said it will quickly move for- ward with purchasing the directional signs for I-94 and interpretive signs on the Hank Aaron State Trail. The MPA anticipates that the I-94 signs will be installed by fall of this year. The Hank Aaron State Trail signs will likely be installed by spring of 2015. "The National Trust for Historic Preservation is thrilled to see such over- whelming community support for the Soldiers Home," said Genell Scheurell, sen- ior field officer with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "Hopefully, this sig- nage will motivate both Milwaukee resi- dents and visitors to learn more about the Soldiers Home, and in turn, promote the rehabilitation of key historic buildings at the historic district."
