The year is 1890. You have been traveling through Northeast Wisconsin, looking for a new place to settle and seek your new life. You have your family and two horses with you to pull your wagon.

This morning your wagon broke down in the rural Manitowoc County village of Pinecrest. Is it time to settle, or should you keep moving?
