Center for Railroad Photography
Milwaukee’s Beer Line

The Center for Railroad Photography & Art celebrates both with an exhibition showcasing 1950s-era photography. The traveling collection will be on display at Octopi Brewing’s taproom for nearly a month. The show opens with a reception that includes a brief presentation, draught beer from Octopi and the debut of the brewery’s new food truck serving “elevated bar cuisine.” At 1131 Uniek Drive in Waunakee, 6 pm.
