Mission
Founded in 1853, the Milwaukee Turners are the oldest civic group in the city, dedicated to strengthening our community based on the ideal of a sound mind in a sound body. Our guiding principles are liberty against all oppression; tolerance against all fanaticism; reason against all superstition; and justice against all exploitation. We offer non-partisan cultural and educational programs, and teach gymnastics, physical and mental fitness from our nationally designated historic landmark, Turner Hall.
