Gertie the Duck

I remember when this sculpture was installed on the bridge. My mom, who was a toddler during WW2, told me the story of Gertie and how she gave the people of Milwaukee a little relief from constantly hearing about the war.
Yes, it’s a duck and her ducklings. A small, but not insignificant, part of Milwaukee history and a sign of our compassion to all living things, even during the toughest of times.
On Wisconsin? On MILWAUKEE!!!
