Lueddemann’s-on-the-River
Lower Oakland Ave. at
Edgewood Ave
In 1872 Frederick A.
Lueddemann opened Lueddemann’s-on-the-River in the Town of Milwaukee
as a landscaped urban retreat, a large building with apartments,
restaurant and billiard tables. In 1900 it was purchased and renamed
“Coney Island” with a roller coaster and other amusement park
facilities. But the loud music and garish lights with limited action
by Town of Milwaukee led the village to incorporate as East
Milwaukee in 1900. Ravenna Park, the last of series of parks closed
in 1916. The land was subdivided and the structures removed. Only
Hubbard Park remains.

Atwater Park Veterans'
Memorial |
A 31’ long cast
bronze plaque “Honoring Shorewood Veterans Who Served in War and
Peace” is the centerpiece of Atwater Park’s Lake Michigan
overlook.
Dedicated on May
28, 2000, the plaque was a project of the Shorewood Centennial
Committee during the celebration of the Village’s 100th birthday.
It had taken 57
years to establish a permanent memorial to veterans in
Shorewood. In 1943, a temporary memorial, on the High School
grounds, listed 1200 names of those serving in World War II.
Within four years the honor roll had doubled and, with no agreement
on a permanent memorial, the honor roll was veiled and taken
down.
Over the years,
various committees considered sites for a permanent location,
rejected proposed designs and lacked funding to pursue the
project.
With renewed
interest in establishing a permanent veterans’ memorial in 2000,
funding was obtained from the Shorewood Men’s Club, the North Shore
American Legion Post #331 and the Shorewood Foundation (formerly
SCIF).
