Nickelodeon Volunteer
What is a Nickelodeon Volunteer?
The Streets of Old Milwaukee was created as a nostalgic look back at our city as it was from the 1880s through the early 1910s. The Nickelodeon, located in the Streets exhibit, is a replica of a 1900 theater called Pastimes. Volunteers run selected silent films from the era and share information about the beginnings of the film industry.
