Milwaukee Curling Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Milwaukee Curling Club, now based in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, is the longest continually operating curling club in the United States. It was founded in Milwaukee in 1845[1] by Scots emigrants, including Alexander Mitchell (later elected "patron" of the Grand National Curling Club).[2] In 1947, a member indicated to Bernie Roth that a women's curling club was needed because women could only play if their husbands were members; in 1949 she established the Milwaukee Kilties.[3]
