The Manitowoc County Historical Society has received a Wisconsin Humanities Mini Grant. The museum's program, "Heritage Maker's Market" will be held June 24th and 25th at the Manitowoc County Historical Society. This supports Wisconsin Humanities' mission to strengthen our democracy through educational and cultural programs that build connections and understanding among people of all backgrounds and beliefs throughout the state.
Funded in part by a grant from Wisconsin Humanities, with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Heritage Maker's Market will be an exhibition of historical skills, trades, and crafts. Visitors to the market will have an opportunity to view demonstrations is folk arts and crafts and shop the American timeline of handcrafted items including Luke's Lost Arts, the Upper Midwest Blacksmith Association, Brooms by Little John, and more! Pose for a tintype photograph by H.H. Bennett Studio. "The Heritage Maker's Market is an opportunity to feel Pinecrest Village come alive as it would've been in days gone by." says Program Coordinator, Hannah.
The grant received by the Manitowoc County Historical Society will provide the means to establish this event. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this project do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
