The Chamber of Manitowoc County issued the following announcement on March 10.
The Manitowoc County Historical Society has announced its first Hungry for History series program for 2022 with author Corey Geiger on Thursday, March 31 at 5:30 pm at the Lighthouse Inn, Two Rivers. Join Geiger, an international agriculture journalist, as he adds insight to the origins of the book - On A Wisconsin Family Farm, Historic Tales of Character, Community and Culture - and shares stories from its pages. Guests can also pick up a signed copy of his book following the program.
Known to friends as the “Dancing Dairyman,” Geiger has danced his way onto Steve Harvey’s Family Feud television show, Texas Two-Stepped on the colored shavings at World Dairy Expo and competed at the Fred Astaire Cross Country Dance Competition. He remains true to his farming roots, managing the cropland and facility maintenance on his family’s Reedsville farm in Manitowoc County that dates back to 1867.
This program is part of the Society's Hungry for History series with a meal following the program. Doors will open at 5 pm for the program.

About the Manitowoc County Historical Society
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.
