Tis the Season: Homeschool Family Field Trip

  • Manitowoc County Historical Society 924 Pinecrest Road Manitowoc, WI, 54220 (map)

Explore holiday traditions of the past.

The story of immigration is not just about crossing borders, but is a testament to human spirit, resilience, and the rich tapestry of traditions. Dive into the classic traditions brought to our region by 19th-century settlers. Explore the intertwining of cultural celebrations, and reflect on how they color our current community’s festive season. Highlights include explorations of St. Martin’s Day, St. Lucy’s Day, a traditional tree lighting, and more.

Note: In order to give students hands-on experiences, we suggest families rotate in small groups. Thus the maximum capacity of this program is about 100 students.

The ideal age for this program is 4 to 17. Program activities take place from 10 am to 2 pm, unless otherwise noted. We suggest allowing at least 2 hours to enjoy the program activities. The Two Creeks Town Hall is available for families to take a snack or lunch break, or enjoy a quiet space to play.

Family field trip/homeschool program admission is $6 for students age 4 to 17. Children under 4 are admitted free. One adult educator per family is admitted free.  Additional adults may join in the program at a cost of $12 each. Payment is due upon registration.

Registration is preferred one week prior to the program date.
