Turner Hall (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

Turner Hall is a site in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, significant for its association with the American Turners, a German-American association. The Milwaukee group was founded in 1853 under the title, "Socialist Turnverein"; its leaders included Socialist Congressman Victor Berger. The four story building was designed by architect Henry C. Koch. The interior includes a ballroom with balcony level, restaurant and beer hall and meeting rooms.

In 1994 the Governor proclaimed Turner Hall one of the "Ten Most Endangered Historic Sites" in Wisconsin. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1996. In 2000, The Milwaukee Turners established the Turner Ballroom Preservation Trust to renovate and maintain the building.

It now hosts a wide variety of concerts. The Turner Hall Ballroom was awarded the "Venue of the Year" at the 2010 Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) awards.
