Downtown Madison’s streets turn into storytelling stages this summer, thanks to the Wisconsin Historical Society’s newly launched History Maker Space walking tours. These narratives explore Capitol politics, Black history, LGBTQ+ activism and the city’s more mythical corners, each layered with local voices and landmarks that still resonate today. It’s a chance for locals and travelers to step into history in downtown Madison, Wis., and experience the places and stories that shaped the capital from the ground up.
