Historical Society Hosts Fall Clean Up

Press Release

The Manitowoc County Historical Society, 924 Pinecrest Road in Manitowoc, is preparing for the winter season with its annual Fall clean up on Thursday November 5 and Friday November 6 from 10 AM to 3 PM each day. Cleaning supplies are available but if attendees are able, it is helpful if groups bring supplies as well. Snacks will be provided throughout the day.

While the focus is on fall clean-up, the Historical Society reminds volunteers to help clean historic structures throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons. Information is available for folks to join as a volunteer each week or for a few hours each month and help make the buildings shine.

Register to attend fall clean-up by calling the museum at (920) 684-4445 or emailing GuestServices@ManitowocCountyHistory.org. Volunteers should check in at the McAllister House Welcome Center for cleaning assignments.
 


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.

For more information on the Manitowoc County Historical Society, contact the museum at (920) 684-4445 or ManitowocCountyHistory.org.
