Situated in the trails of the Ice Age Kettle Moraine in Eastern Wisconsin, the Manitowoc County Historical Society offers a living history museum covering 60 acres. Among its features are a Welcome Center with history exhibits and research services, alongside the Pinecrest Historical Village. Pinecrest Village includes over 25 historic buildings equipped with period furnishings, dating back to Manitowoc County’s early settlers.
Pinecrest Historical Village commenced in 1970 with a land donation from the Hugo and Eleanor Vetting family. The village showcases a representation of a small Wisconsin community from the early 1900s, with its various buildings forming the commercial, social, and political heart of a town, reflecting diverse architectural styles from Wisconsin’s history. The items used by Pinecrest Village interpreters are authentic or carefully researched reproductions.
