Kick off the holiday season
Get into the holiday spirit when you visit for our historic structures of Pinecrest Village! Prepare for winter yourself by taking part in a special Create-Connect workshop, help townspeople get into the holiday spirit, and shop the Holiday Market. It’s the perfect family activity to kick off the holiday season!
Get ready for winter
Stroll through the Historic Village where preparations are underway for the snowy season ahead.
As you explore the 19th-century Historic Village, learn how Wisconsinites at the turn of the 20th century would have been preparing for the cold months ahead. See homes being prepared for snow and cold, clothing being mended, and kitchens being stocked for the winter months.
Don’t miss candle making, food preservation, smoking meats, sewing winter garments, blacksmithing, and more. Plus - visitors can enjoy a 19th-century style meal, served out of the historic Meeme House!
