Came here with my 4 year old and we had a wonderful day. This place is perfect for this age, she lived exploring the buildings. I live how there are little things for you to open, explore, and touch- like the bonnets in the school house. Werent sure what to expect with co-vid but it was pleasantly quiet. Everything was open except a few buildings undergoing renovations. The blacksmiths (who are there currently only there Thursdays) made my daughter a tiny sword that she loved and she got a tattoo from the lady working the welcome building.
We checked out the Buffalo Bill show at Pinecrest and were blown away by the cleanliness, the amount of things to look at (like the old train) and the sheer scale of it right here in Manitowoc county! The show was also pretty cool. Definately recomend this place as you can literally take a stroll down memory lane (okay, your grand-mas grandmas).
Great place to take the kids! Their Christmas day is a lot of fun, too!
Kids loved it
Learned about black smithing today. Even made my own S hook
If youre into enjoying historical structures set in some of Wisconsins most beautiful setting, than Pinecrest Historical Village is something you definitely need to check out. From the blacksmith shop to the school house, the buildings offer a wide variety of historic Wisconsin structures from the late 1800s into the 1900s. The facility is very well kept up with extremely friendly staff.
Was there yesterday for wild west show. enjoyed the day.
A wonderful visit to yesteryear! We love to visit every time we come to the area!
Loved taking the grand kids to Pinecrest and the self guided audio tour was very helpful !
Good time had by all... very interesting
I love history and this place is chock full of the history.
Great historical village with many fun programs and events.
We attended the Thresheree Sunday. This years show was a disappointment compared to years past. The equipment demonstrations were great - hats off to the people that haul all of that equipment in, set it up and operate it. The tractor displays are watered down, not sure if fewer participate or if having the equipment scattered all over is the reason for that. Not many vendors to be seen. Back in the day my kids and I would attend the Thresheree for a few dollars. This year it was $10 per adult, and I was told none of that goes to the club. Thats too bad. I probably wont attend that again, at least not for a few years.
Very educational! Attended the Buffalo Bill show & my son & nephew were so impressed by how everyone stayed true to the environment, all the way to baby strollers! Great job!!
Best historical village my family has been to! We went to the homeschool day and almost everything is actually hands on! Normally stuff like this is roped off but not here. There was an actual family in the house that was baking cookies!
My experience is a bit different than others. I went on the weekend with my fiance and there werent any actors in costumes. We just went along the tour and figured things out for ourselves. It was awesome.
Such a great history lesson tucked away in the countryside.
Friendly staff. Informative self guided audio tour.
Excellent piece of Wisconsin history! We went on a Saturday morning. I love that you can take time to explore the grounds and buildings at your own pace. You can really get a feel of what the late 1800s, small town/rural life felt like.
Was impressed with the the pioneer village. I took the audio walking tour. They are currently reconstructing the largest building on property. Ill return to see the finished home.
I love seen how people lived years ago.
It could have been nicer if they would have kept the weeds mowed
We were there today & were able to watch the Buffalo Bill show. Very cool place & the show was fun. It was well worth the drive for us.
Very interesting restored town, nice staff I liked the option to take an electronic device to give the tour and then we could decide to listen in the areas we wanted to hear more information
Has vary nice staff and a lot of interesting things and buildings.
A wonderful piece of history. Very neat.
You get to learn all about history
Better than many museums. See real buildings.
Its a step back in time. They have great events there like Civil War reenactments
Interesting place to visit, I recommend attending one of their summer events!
Wonderful old time village with history tour.
Awesome place to visit, nice for the County!
Wonderful place of history.
We really enjoyed our day at Pinecrest Village.
Needs tour guides
Great place to learn about Manitowoc county.
