McAllister House Welcome Center
Renovation has Begun!
Join us in our
efforts to transform this beautiful
Greek Revival farm house into the
McAllister House Welcome Center at
Pinecrest Historical Village. We
have raised $200,000 for the project. Download our
donation form
to find out how to give a gift or
purchase an engraved paver
in to be placed at the entryway of the
building. The A.D.A. compliant
center will feature a classroom, gift
shop, exhibit gallery, restrooms,
artifact storage and administrative
offices.
Hungry
for History: Odd Wisconsin with Author Erika
Janik
While Bob
La Follette’s exploits as leader of
progressive politics are legendary, his
early morning exertions to save valuable
government documents, and paintings during
the disastrous 1904 Capitol fire are largely
unknown - until now. Erika Janik will share
some fun and surprising stories of the
people, places, and events of Wisconsin’s
past that you didn’t learn in school. Why
would the University of Wisconsin have a
band play for cows? Why did legislators
consider umbrellas essential to debate on
the Assembly floor in the 19th century? You
may find yourself surprised, perplexed and
astonished by the answers.
