Historic Housewives of Manitowoc County (Hungry for History)

  • Branch Station 8112 Village Drive Whitelaw, WI, 54247 United States (map)

Cooking on an open fire, washing clothes by hand, keeping a diligent eye on the kids while also tending to some worn clothes in dire need of a patch job. This was common life for a woman back in pioneer times, and no woman was a stranger to this lifestyle. But our pioneer women also started libraries, classrooms, museums, and so much more.

Discover the women movers and shakers in Manitowoc County at the turn of the 20th century!
