The History of Memories

Memories dates back to 1934 and today, after careful restoration and remodeling, Memories captures all the rustic charm associated with Wisconsin's north woods here in Ozaukee county.

Leo Weiler built the main ballroom in 1934 originally known as "Weiler's" Log Cabin Ballroom for over 50 years. It has touched the lives of countless individuals. This grand old lady was built in a time and a way which could not be possible today. Constructing a saw mill right on the building site, Weiler built the dance hall using Tamarack trees from a nearby swamp. Built as a dance hall during the big band era, much consideration was given to the floor itself. The dance floor is 2400 sq. ft. of suspended hard wood maple. The fact that it is a suspended dance floor means that there is no fatigue factor on the legs from a hard surface. All dancers comment on the difference this makes in being able to enjoy dancing.

1930s

The 2500 square foot suspended Maple dance floor is one of the finest hardwood dance floors in the state.

In 1995 all adjacent additions were put under a bright airy, 16ft high cathedral ceiling, creating the new lounge area. Sporting a 60 foot new bar, this warm and cozy lounge adds additional charm to the original ballroom. More recent alterations provides separation of the lounge from the main ballroom and a new stage. Whether you have been here in the past or are coming for the first time you will leave understanding the reason for the name.
