The Wauwatosa Curling Club, based in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, was founded in 1921.[4] The club has been located in Wauwatosa's Hart Park since 1925 and moved into the park's Muellner Building in 1941.[5]
In 2024, the club underwent a historic renovation, including the reveal and restoration of the original barrel-vaulted laminated pine timber ceiling.[5]
In addition to membership activities, the club holds regular Adaptive Curling sessions during the season and has played a leadership role in growing the adaptive game with other clubs.[6] Regular adaptive curling participants include veterans groups such as the VA[7] and Milwaukee's Association of the United States Army (AUSA).[8]
In April 2024, Team Carlson (including club members Ryan Carlson, Joe Matel, Oscar Koebel, Andy Mentel, and Aaron Morrill) won a spot in the USA Curling Club National Championships.[9] Team Carlson earned their national bid by winning the 2024 Wisconsin title.[10]
Wauwatosa is a member of USA Curling,[11] the Wisconsin State Curling Association,[12] and the United States Women's Curling Association.[13]
The club is organized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and the club's operations are governed by a board of directors.[14]
