In 1987, the Wauwatosa Historical Society  purchased a stately Victorian house, a coach house, and 1.5 acres of gardens and  grounds. The Kneeland-Walker House is now being used for various educational programs, preservation work, archival storage, artifact displays, and community events. This treasure stands as one of Wauwatosa ’s greatest community assets.
