Imagine having your event in a museum
Our Bucyrus Club is home to the amazing and well-appointed Bucyrus museum. Our second floor has been completely remodeled to bring you back to an era when Bucyrus Erie was thriving in South Milwaukee, building some of the most important machinery that influenced the infrastructure of our world, and changing the direction of their manufacturing to significantly help major worldwide events in our history. We can arrange your appetizer event, cocktail party, or private showing with dinner to follow at any time you wish. We have even installed a brand new elevator and restrooms for your accessibility and comfort. Please inquire about renting the museum for your next event.
