Manitowoc County Historical Society: Museum and Pinecrest Village — Attraction in Town of Manitowoc Rapids

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. That's too bad. I probably won't attend that again, at least not for...
