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.
