West Bend Parks, Recreation & Forestry team has placed three new informational kiosks along the Riverwalk, just off Riverfront Parkway at the Place of Origin, to share the city’s industrial history. The kiosks were donated by the Ziegler Family Foundation and made in collaboration with The Tower Heritage Center to ensure historical accuracy and provide insight on the significance of West Bend’s industrial history at this location.
