Park Street runs through the heart of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, and some of the places where students spend the most time are on or near that street including the Memorial Union, Helen C. White College Library, Bascom Hill, and Library Mall. What many students don�t know is that the Park Street corridor is also a major street running through Madison, and one whose buildings and neighborhoods have, over the years, housed many Italian, African American, Hmong, and Latino families, among others. Indeed, the history of Park Street reflects the changing immigration and migration patterns in the United States, and the diverse groups who have made up Madison.
