The Manitowoc County Historical Society Museum and Pinecrest Village, 924 Pinecrest Road in Manitowoc, has announced plans for its spring opening weekend celebration on Saturday, May 3. Complete with its 19th annual Homegrown Heritage Breakfast fundraiser, living history demonstrations, and trades interpreters, the spring opening is a great way to step into the stories of the past.
Elevate your visit during the Spring Opening Weekend with the Homegrown Heritage Breakfast, taking place from 8 am to 11 am! Tickets include admission to the museum and village, along with all activities. Tickets are sold in time slots, corresponding to the time you would like to eat. Advanced registration is recommended. Menu for the breakfast includes: scrambled eggs from Humpty Dumpty Eggs, toast from Natural Ovens Bakery, bacon and sausage from Newton Meats, butter from Pine River Dairy, cheese from Henning’s Cheese, local jams, and maple syrup from Hilltop Maple Syrup Camp. The breakfast will be prepared by Late’s BBQ, Manitowoc. Funds raised at the event will help the Manitowoc County Historical Society in their efforts to preserve and promote local history through a wide variety of education programs.
From 10 am to 2 pm, there will be a variety of living history demonstrations throughout Pinecrest Village. You’ll be able to chat with our knowledgeable costumed interpreters who keep the stories of our past alive. You’ll hear the clanging of the blacksmith’s hammer, smell the aroma of fresh-baked treats, and truly experience life in the 19th century. Interpreters — including cooks and craftspeople.
Guests are encouraged to take part in a variety of hands-on activities. At 11 am and 12:30 pm, there will be historic sheep shearing demonstrations at the Meeme Livery. Grab a pair of hand-clippers and do your own trimming on our practice fleece. Get hands-on by picking, washing and helping transform the wool into yarn.
