Nudist Bridge Parties in Milwaukee, 1930s

Return to Discussions

I ran across an article in Milwaukee magazine about nude gatherings in Milwaukee in the 1930s.

Their gatherings were not unlike most get-togethers in the city at the time. Men and women played bunco and bridge, read, or chatted about the movement and its plans for the summer. No liquor was served at these gatherings, staying true to the nudist ideal of sobriety.
According to the article, local police were so offended by this that they threatened to "knock them off." Spoiler alert: they were never able to find one of these affronts to public decency in progress.
