Jones Island Milwaukee Kaszube Park Wisconsin

Jones Island Milwaukee Kaszube Park Wisconsin Descendants gather the first Saturday in August, at Kaszube Park, to celebrate their heritage of those family members who lived on Jones Island.

Jones Island/Kaszube Park
1439 South Carferry Dr., Milwaukee, WI 53207

The first informal Kaszube picnic gatherings originated about 1977, a few years after the park was established in 1974. The gathering ceased in 1984 but in 2000, the Kupferschmidt brothers, descendants of Jones Island residents, revived the picnic. Fifteen to 300+ have gathered at the annual potluck event.
