According to organizers: “Fairs are an exciting time for any agricultural community throughout history, and residents couldn’t wait to show off their best work and harvest! Visit activities in the historic structures of Pinecrest Village, see historic equipment demonstrations, and join the threshing crew.”
The Manitowoc County Historical Society operates a living history museum that covers sixty acres in eastern Wisconsin’s Kettle Moraine region. The outdoor Pinecrest Historical Village features more than twenty-five historic buildings furnished with period pieces or reproductions representing early twentieth-century life in Wisconsin communities.
