Manitowoc County’s Remarkable Homes

Manitowoc County’s Remarkable Homes tells the story of the considerable contribution local historic homes have made to our community’s architecture. It also answers questions you've likely asked when you've seen a notable historic home: Who built this house? What brought them here? Why did they select that particular style?

Historic Housewives

Cooking on an open fire, washing clothes by hand, keeping a diligent eye on the kids while also tending to some worn clothes in dire need of a patch job. This was common life for a woman back in pioneer times, and no woman was a stranger to this lifestyle. But our pioneer women also started libraries, classrooms, museums, and so much more.
