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]
