10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Kenosha, Wisconsin

In 1976 I purchased a 1970 American Motors AMX automobile and in the summer of 1977 attended a national meet for owners of these rare little hotrods in Kenosha, Wisconsin where they were originally built. I had never even heard of Kenosha until I purchased the car. For years I would attend this annual meet and along the way fell in love with this beautiful city on the shores of Lake Michigan.

The City of Kenosha has evolved through many changes over the past 45 years and so have I. However, I still own the AMX and I’m still passionate about this city. I think everyone in the United States should visit the City of Kenosha at some point and experience, the beauty and historical significance of the town.

I plan to produce a 2nd documentary covering other sites in Kenosha although this video covers the following:

The Kenosha Streetcars

The Kemper Center

Simmons Field

The Kenosha Velodrome

The Kenosha Mammoths

The Kenosha Civil War Museum

The Wallace Fountain

The Home of Orson Welles

The Only Confederate Soldier Buried In Kenosha With Full Military Honors

The Rambler Automobile
