A History of Beer Gardens

Credits

The process of researching beer gardens was a winding road that kept leading back to Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Historical Society has a great archive to find primary and secondary sources about all things beer. From their website I was able to start tracking down sources through the Library of Congress. I found a great deal of media on both sites and this project relied hevily on these images. I found a blog from the Atlantic that further guided my research on the history of beer gardens. The remaining research was very basic historical research on anti-German sentiment, temperance, and prohibition.
