Historical Society announces fall lecture and dinner programs on Evergleam trees and supper clubs

 

The Manitowoc County Historical Society will hold upcoming Hungry for History series programs focusing on Evergleam trees and Wisconsin supper clubs.  The lecture and dinner style programs will take place at Branch Station, 8112 Village Drive, Whitelaw.

The Hungry for History: Evergleams 101 program will take place on Thursday, October 17 at 5 pm. Join Jordan Kabat (Dr. Evergleam) and Barb Bundy-Jost (Nurse Sparkle) to discover the rich history of the Aluminum Specialty Company, insider's tips for how to find your own Evergleam tree, and common repairs and TLC needed for these aluminum masterpieces.  

An additional series program, Hungry for History: "The Wisconsin Supper Clubs Story" with Ron Faiola, will take place on Thursday, November 14 at 5 pm. Ron Faiola has been called “Wisconsin’s legacy filmmaker” and a “supper club guru.”  His best selling book series, Wisconsin Supper Clubs: An Old Fashioned Experience (2013), and Wisconsin Supper Clubs: Another Round (2016), helped ignite supper club fever in the Badger State.  He was awarded a gold medal from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association for his third book, The Wisconsin Supper Clubs Story: An Illustrated History, With Relish (2021). His recently released fourth book, Wisconsin Supper Clubs Second Edition, is an expanded and updated version of his first book. 

Guests can register for an individual program for $35 each. Manitowoc County Historical Society members receive a 15% discount.

About the Manitowoc County Historical Society
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.
