Father's Day Weekend in the Village is such a special way to create lifelong memories! Treat the fathers and father figures in your life to an outdoor living history experience where you are immersed in the stories of our past.It’s the Lakeshore League Ball Tournament. The Museum’s vintage base ball team, The Manitowoc County Amateurs, unpack their woolen uniforms, brown balls, and double-knobbed bats to play in a 19th-century base ball game.
They are carrying on a long tradition of base ball (as it was spelled in the 19th century) in Wisconsin. The Museum and Village is filled with all the ambiance of play in the 1860s—no gloves or other protective equipment, wooden bats and scoreboard, and top-hatted umpires.
Before and after the game, you are encouraged to join the fun by participating in a rousing pick-up game. Guests will get to field and hit with the team and learn how to play base ball by the rules of 1860s.
