Built by Frederick Pabst himself, it's a building full of history... and hauntings!

Stop 6
St. Hedwig’s Church is one of Brady Street’s most recognizable landmarks, with a history tied to Polish Catholic tradition, saints, relics, and miracles. One story tells of a massive bell weight crashing through the church during a crowded anniversary service — yet somehow no one was hurt. Did a miracle happen here in the late Nineteenth Century?

Teachers and staff at Tamarack Waldorf School have reported footsteps, slamming doors, strange noises, and uneasy feelings when working alone in the building. Some stories even include reports of an apparition seen in a basement mirror.

Stop 8
This stop connects Brady Street to one of the strangest chapters in Wisconsin religious folklore: Catholic exorcism history.

Stop 9
This former firehouse area has a tragic story of a young firefighter who reportedly died after falling down the hose tower.

Stop 10
This building was once the John I. Suminski Funeral Home, which operated on Brady Street for about a century. Even after its transformation into an escape room, the building’s long history with death gives it one of the most naturally spooky backstories on the tour.
