Father's Day Weekend at Pinecrest Village

Father's Day Weekend in the Village is such a special way to create lifelong memories! Treat the fathers and father figures in your life to an outdoor living history experience where you are immersed in the stories of our past. Dad's get FREE general admission!


It’s the Lakeshore League Ball Tournament. The Museum’s vintage base ball team, The Manitowoc County Amateurs, unpack their woolen uniforms, brown balls, and double-knobbed bats to play in a 19th-century base ball game.

They are carrying on a long tradition of base ball (as it was spelled in the 19th century) in Wisconsin. The Museum and Village is filled with all the ambiance of play in the 1860s—no gloves or other protective equipment, wooden bats and scoreboard, and top-hatted umpires.

Take part in various Create-Connect Workshops. Advanced registration is required for the workshops:

Family Base Ball Workshop: Learn how to make a hand-made leather baseball. An adult and child pair will work together to cut out, stitch, and craft their own leather baseball to use for play.

Beer and Pretzels: Learn about the historical role of beer and discover how to make a pale ale using local ingredients sourced from Briess Malting in Manitowoc with the Manty Malters Homebrew Club. You’ll also make a savory treat - oven pretzels.
