The Manitowoc County Historical Society will present a Hungry for History series program about historic tavern stories on Wednesday, October 22 at 5 pm at Branch Station, 8112 Village Drive in Whitelaw. The lecture style program will take place at 5 pm with a meal to follow. During the presentation, "Tavern Tales of the Old Northwest", guests will follow along as we share unusual, curious, and fascinating stories of early taverns in Manitowoc County and nearby communities.
A Hungry for History series program will also take place on Wednesday, November 12 at 5 pm at Branch Station, focusing on the marine sanctuary, maritime archaeology, and shipwrecks of Manitowoc County. "Maritime Archaeology and Shipwrecks of Manitowoc County" will be presented Caitlin Zant, WSCNMS Research Coordinator and Maritime Archaeologist. Designated in 2021, Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary (WSCNMS) provides stewardship for our nation's maritime heritage in Lake Michigan. Co-managed by NOAA and the State of Wisconsin, the sanctuary expands on the state's 30-year management of these historic sites, bringing new opportunities for research, resource protection, and education.
