Create-Connect Workshop Series
Want to know more about something you saw at the Manitowoc County Historical Society - either with our archives at our McAllister House Welcome Center or in the historic structures of our Pinecrest Village? Are you interested in learning a new skill, or just want to have fun with friends or family? Sign up for one of our Create-Connect Workshops!
You will work in small groups to learn more about a specific skill or trade, from blacksmithing to tablesetting. And with a small class size, you are guaranteed lots of individualized instruction and plenty of opportunity to participate.
Refund and Cancellation Policies: If a class runs as scheduled, no refund will be given in your absence. Cancellations may be made due to inclement weather, or if too few people have registered for the class. If this occurs, you will receive a full refund.
