Spirited History Guided Lantern Tours will be held on Friday, October 9 at 6 pm and 8 pm.

The one-hour candlelit walking tour begins at the McAllister House Welcome Center and is suitable for ages eight and older. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Advanced registration is required and a fee is charged.

A family friendly event, “All Hallows Eve” Pinecrest Village Trick or Treat, will take place on Saturday, October 10 from 2 to 4 pm. This is a general admission program. Stroll the traffic-free streets of the Historic Village on this fun-filled October weekend. Historic homes and businesses will be distributing classic candy and, as part of the Teal Pumpkin Project, allergy-safe non-food treats.  Make your way to different historic porches where kids in costume can gather sweet treats, plus enjoy an assortment of other fall-fun activities!

About the Manitowoc County Historical Society Museum and Pinecrest Village

Nestled in the scenic rolling Ice Age Kettle Moraine countryside of Eastern Wisconsin, the Manitowoc County Historical Society is a museum of living history. This 60-acre interpretive museum of local history features a Welcome Center with local history exhibits and research services and the outdoor Pinecrest Historical Village - a collection of over 25 historic buildings with period furnishings from Manitowoc County's early settlers.

Pinecrest Historical Village began in 1970 with a land donation from the Hugo and Eleanor Vetting family.  The Village has grown to represent a reproduction of a small Wisconsin community during the early 1900s. The buildings form the commercial, social, and political core of a town and they represent several architectural styles of Wisconsin's history. The furnishings, items, and tools in the various buildings used by the Pinecrest Village interpreters are either original pieces or carefully researched reproductions.
