Agricultural Heritage Bus Tours

Heritage Bus Tours

Posted on November 30, 2009

Kewaunee County sits on top of a limestone rock layer called the Niagara Escarpment. Glaciers pushed out rolling hills that slope down to Lake Michigan on one side and the bay of Green Bay on the other. Indians came with trading posts before the lumber industry boomed. Fertile soil became home to prolific farms settled by mostly German, Czechoslovakian and Belgian immigrants.

Agricultural Heritage & Resources offers 5 tours to give you a true flavor of our “Little Europe”. A step on guide will accompany your coach.

The Ag Heritage Tour begins in an 1876 Czech farmstead for a bite to eat. The largest family owned dairy farm in the state is Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy that uses G.P.S., computer chips, an anaerobic digester and the cows are milked while riding a rotating carousel. Depending upon the season, you may tour LaCrosse Maple Syrup, Kraynik berries, Hillside apples or Aissen Christmas tree farm. A farm lunch will be served. Organic farming is growing in popularity; we’ll see how it’s done at Wavrunek Organic Farm. Along the route you’ll see many farms from European settlers.

The Czech Tour starts with a kolache and coffee and an 1876 Czech farmstead tour. Step back in time at Tom’s Bakery for fresh Belgian pies. Kele Alpaca’s utilizes an original Czech homestead complete with a square silo. For lunch, a Czech roast pork tenderloin, sour kraut, potato dumplings, dessert and Czech music. Watch a methunky demonstration and take some home. In Stangelville, tour a church on the register of historic places, shop at Konop’s, home to traditional sultz and stop at the last cheese factory in Kewaunee County; a world champion in mozzarella. We’ll tour a vineyard and sample award winning wines from the 44th parallel.

The Belgian Tour is hosted by Belgian Walloon and local historian Clete Bellin. Start with a Belgian breakfast. Learn about Belgians settlers, the oldest church on the peninsula and chapels that dot the countryside. Travel through Frog Station and hear about miracles of Robinsonville. Ride on top of the Niagara escarpment ledge to see the bay of Green Bay at the same place where Jean Nicolet did at Red Banks. Brussels Countryside Café will serve Belgian trippe, sweet and sour red cabbage, potatoes and Belgian pie. Next stop is Marchants to purchase Belgian goodies then to the cheese store. See a windmill farm, outdoor ovens, dolomite stone homes and karsts. Cross paths with the Green Bay Packers and Baby Face Nelson on this tour.

The Kewaunee Tour begins at Ag Heritage Farm with Czech kolache. Kewaunee is a harbor town on Lake Michigan that has served military, commercial and passenger ships and now great lakes anglers. The Marquette Historical District is full of extravagant homes from local dignitaries. The Jail Museum brings the colorful past to life as does the Tug Ludington that was active in World War II. The Kewaunee Inn is where we will stop for lunch and a tour. Hopefully we’ll be joined by some of the spirits that are said to still make their presence known. Shop at the fresh fish market or Tom’s Bakery. Ride through the Kewaunee River Valley to Buzz Besadny Fish Hatchery and Bruemmer Park lime quarry and zoo.

Algoma is a harbor town on Lake Michigan. The Algoma tour begins at the Farm Market Kitchen for a bite to eat. It’s a food related business incubator where some famous products got their start. Ride the coach for the Walldog tour and then to Algoma’s most delightful little bakery. Rabas Steam Engine Museum is the home to Big Jim. The grand Hotel Stebbins is our lunch stop. After lunch we’ll catch a quick tour of the Algoma marina and lighthouse and then see one of the last remaining 1920’s fish shanties on the lakeshore. Shop at Bearcats for fresh smoked fish and at Wisconsin’s oldest winery, Von Stiehl. Our last stop is the Flying Pig where you can walk through whimsical gardens.

Agricultural Heritage & Resources, Inc. is a 501 C3 Not-for-profit educational organization dedicated to preserving agricultural heritage past, present and future.

Sledding in Kewaunee

Travel
All over the map
Events near and far

Nov. 27, 2010 |(0) Comments

Kewaunee: "Sledding in the Snow." Part of the fun of sledding on a farm is the exhilaration of knowing you could end up with a face full of snow at any moment and knowing wonderful treats would be waiting afterwards. Heritage Farm, N2251 Highway 42, five miles south of Kewaunee, can't promise the snow, but it will have an exhibit of old sleds for visitors to see and coffeecakes and other treats to savor Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Santa will stop in for a snack and a chat at noon; there will also other activities for the kids. And there will be cookies and candy for sale to take home with you. Admission is free. See www.agriculturalheritage.org.

Blue Mounds: "4th Annual Carol in the Cave." Underground music never sounded as sweet as carols performed from deep inside the Cave of the Mounds, 2975 Cave of the Mounds Road. A number of area choirs will give concerts Friday through next Sunday. Friday's concert is at 7 p.m.; Saturday's are at 11 a.m., 1, 3 and 4:30 p.m.; next Sunday concerts will be held are at 1 and 3 p.m. Admission is $7; part of the fee goes to a charity of the choir's choice. Advance tickets are recommended and can be purchased at www.caveofthemounds.com.

Greenbush: "A Wade House Christmas." A stop at this 1860s stagecoach inn during the holidays might have meant helping make ornaments or stringing cranberries to decorate a tree harvested by Sylvanus Wade, or maybe a horse-drawn wagon ride or carols and some fine fiddle music. Visitors don't need to travel to the past for this experience - they can take a trip to the inn at W7824 Center St., Saturday or next Sunday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Admission to this simple celebration is $11 for adults, $9.25 for students and seniors and $5.50 for children ages 5-17.

See www.monchesfarm.com for a list of participants and a map of locations.

Cambridge: "Cambridge Country Christmas." A singing Christmas tree. Need we say more? How about strolling madrigal singers, pet photos with Santa and tea with Mrs. Cratchit. These and other special events are all scheduled to take place Friday through next Sunday in this small town's downtown. There will also be a Christmas tree lighting Friday at 6 p.m. in Veteran's Park followed by hot cocoa and cookies. See www.cambridgewi.com for details.

Michigan: "Sinterklaas Eve Procession." Santa may have his sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, but Sinterklaas has a big white horse and Zwarte Pieten handing out candy to children. A trip to Holland, Mich., Friday will give you the Dutch treat of the holiday season with this traditional St. Nicholas tale. Sinterklaas will arrive at 7 p.m. at Eight Street Market Place and lead a procession to Centennial Park. There he and his adherents will enjoy cookies and hot chocolate. Children wishing to take part in the procession can join a workshop from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. to build a lantern to carry during the procession. It's all free; see www.sinterklaaseve.com for details.

Iowa: "Prelude to Christmas." Amana, which delights in its 19th-century roots, celebrates Christmas to a fare-thee-well. There will special events there all month after the official "Prelude to Christmas" taking place Friday through next Sunday. There will be brass bands and cheese tastings, a cookie walk and blanket weaving and a whole lot more. See www.festivalsinamana.com.

Illinois: "Holidays a Cappella." If your appetite for fa-la-las is never-ending, a trip across the border will add to your holiday spirit. Chicago a Cappella will be holding a number of concerts in the Windy City and its suburbs this season, including one at 4 p.m. next Sunday at the Wentz Concert Hall, 171 E. Chicago Ave, Naperville.

Fall Colors Report and Scenic Drives in Wisconsin

Image by l r via Flickr

"Go north young man...

Color connoisseurs: You knew it would happen "up north" first, and it has. The northern third of Wisconsin is now under autumn's magic spell. In Iron County, Hurley and Mercer are reporting near-peak color with Douglas, Burnett, Price and Florence Counties not far behind. Park Falls reports 75% peak color, while Minocqua, Three Lakes and Rhinelander are at 30-40% color.

Hooray for fall!

The travel team at TravelWisconsin.com" Source: Wisconsin Fall Color Report -

"Fall in Wisconsin is time to hit the road with 11 Classic Drives
Bring on the “ohs and ahs-some”

Autumn in Wisconsin is all about the color…and getting out to see it. Here are (some of the)eleven fall color driving tours guaranteed to put you in a front row seat for Mother Nature’s annual show. Of course, you can always design your own fall tour; from urban parks to colorful country roads, Wisconsin is loaded with Colorama opportunities this time of year.

"Protected by the warming waters of Lake Michigan, the hardwoods of Kewaunee and Door Counties make a colorful autumn drive. You can trace Hwy 42 north from Kewaunee to Gills Rock at the very tip of the Door County thumb (75 miles). On the return trip, follow Hwy 57 down the Lake Michigan side of the peninsula for the “other half” of the Door County experience.

Along the way, enjoy terrific bluff-top views of the lake, a set of four popular state parks (Potawatomi, Peninsula, Newport and Whitefish Dunes), seven picturesque lighthouses in as many charming towns, apple orchards to pick-a-peck, and a 20-minute ferry ride to Washington Island. The Door County peninsula is one of Wisconsin’s premier vacation destinations, so quality accommodations, restaurants, shopping and attractions are always close at hand.

Fall colors frame the views along the Bayfield Peninsula tour. Start in Ashland at the Northern Great Lakes Visitors Center where a wonderful series of exhibits detail the area’s regional history and culture.
Follow Hwy 13 and the Lake Superior shore north to Bayfield, a quaint harbor town with a great vacation vibe. Bayfield is also the gateway to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore; 21 gem-like coastal islands and 12 miles of mainland that are home to six lighthouses, labyrinthine sea caves, terrific blue-water sailing, and some of the best sea kayaking in the world. You can take a ferry to Madeline Island where you can visit Big Bay State Park and a State Historical Society site.

von Stiehl Winery - Algoma

Grape Stomp, Wine Tasting, Specialty Foods, & Fine Art Fair.

Wet Whistle Wine Fest - See it to Believe it!
There’s something that happens one weekend a year in Algoma that defies explanation. It’s not the two thousand visitors all smiling at the same time. It’s not the trombonist standing in a barrel on the grape stomp rack sliding through a riff, or the dirty grape-soaked sticky purple feet on the person who’s dancing across the stage in front of the band. Those are normal and to be expected. What usually throws people are all of the costumes. We don’t ask for or even suggest that anyone come dressed up like giant wine bottles, or that groups show up in shirts specially made for the weekend. We certainly don’t expect to see any nuns smoking cigarettes and drinking Naughty Girl wine.
In fact, there are things that go on at this festival that we just couldn’t make up. They happen this way with no coercion. As the saying goes, don’t take our word for it... come see it for yourself!
Instead of our usual five course wine pairing, we will be offering no-reservations wine and cheese, and wine and chocolate pairings. We are also going to experiment with a new tasting tour. Please be sure to let us know what you think of the changes after you’ve experienced them.
Wine Enthusiasts Wanted: if you would like to be a part of the working crew for the fest, please call Sandy at 920-856-6401.

Kewaunee Inn Paranormal Activities Review - Associated Content

Image via CrunchBase

"Haunted or Not?
I love the paranormal and I have always loved staying at places that were marked as haunted. It seems like all of the places that I have stayed at, I have never had an experience with the paranormal, but staying at the
Historic Karsten Inn
Neighborhood: Kewaunee
Kewaunee, WI 54216
United States of America
Historic Karsten Inn changed all of that for me.

The historic Karsten Inn is located at 112 Ellis Street in Kewaunee, Wisconsin only one block away from the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan. The Inn is an old 3 story brick building that looks a rough, but it was built in 1912. It is the oldest Inn located in Kewaunee.

Inside the Inn the owners have kept everything well maintained. The Inn offers its guest 23 rooms only. As you walk into the Lobby you will see beautiful original woodwork all around you. Antique pictures, vases and sculptures decorate the room. The room rate for the night is around $100.

The rooms themselves are very nice, but still have the old antique atmosphere. We had one with a Jacuzzi tub. I guess 15 out of the 23 have them. They also had all the extras like cable TV, coffee maker, free high speed internet, and a hairdryer. Also you do get your own private bathroom.

Stories say that 3 spirits make the Karsten Inn their home. The first one is Agatha. In 1921 she was raped by a drunk neighbor close to her dad's farm. She had a child due to that which her parents raised for her. Because of this child Agatha needed money so she went to work at the Inn as a house keeper. The Inn decided to let her live in Room 310 as she worked there to help her out.

A sad end to the story says in 1937 times were too tough for her and that she was found hanging from a rope in Room 310, others say that she died on her family farm. But needless to say she is one of the most popular ghost sightings at the Inn especially in Room 310. She is said to be seen still cleaning the Inn to this day and messing with the kitchen staff.

The second spirit is William Karsten Sr. William was the original owner that built the hotel back in 1912. He is a gentle spirit with a mild temper at times. People say they smell his odor, which is unpleasant, have furniture move on them, and spot him drinking at the bar.

The third spirit is Billy Karsten III. Billy is 5 years old and full of energy and was the grandson of William Sr. Guests will hear him laughing, running up and down the halls, and see his apparition hiding around corners as if he is curious about what is going on.

The owners suggest that any guest that has experiences with the ghost write them down in a journal. In this journal there was a lot of personal experiences in here. My personal experience with my husband here was that we heard footsteps in the hallway. When we opened the door and looked in the hall they stopped. We closed our door and heard them again, opened the door once again, nothing, followed by a child's laughter. He was just playing a game with us. Later it sounded like we heard a ball being bounced down the hall. When we looked in the hall there was nothing.

Then when we were exploring the hotel, my husband said he saw a white mist that turned into an older woman's face with white hair in a bun. I did not see this because I was looking in a different direction. Later we found out that Agatha the house keeper looked exactly as he explained seeing. Was our mind playing tricks on us? Not sure, it is something that is unexplained for us.

Rumor is that many paranormal experts have stayed at the hotel with about 65% of them having evidence that the Karsten Inn is indeed haunted. If you believe this all or not, the question is do you have the guts to put the stories to the test and stay a night at the Karsten Inn? I would definitely love to go back to see what happens next time.

Annual Door County Festival of Blossoms Spotlights Orchards, Wildflowers and Special Events from April 30 – June 6 | Door County Style

Annual Door County Festival of Blossoms Spotlights Orchards, Wildflowers and Special Events from April 30 – June 6

Posted on 03. Apr, 2010 by Staff Reporter in Festivals and Events
The 17th annual Door County Festival of Blossoms is a 5-week long celebration of blossoming beauty framed by more than 300 miles of scenic Lake Michigan shoreline.
Spring blossoms at Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, one of ten lighthouses in Door County, are part of the annual Door County Festival of Blossoms taking place from April 30 - June 6, 2010.

Spring blossoms at Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, one of ten lighthouses in Door County, are part of the annual Door County Festival of Blossoms taking place from April 30 - June 6, 2010.

For the past 17 years, residents and business owners on this bucolic peninsula have planted more than 2.2 million daffodil and tulip bulbs in public displays and personal gardens. Since officially being christened in Holland in 2003, the Door County USA daffodil has added its presence to the spring bloom. At the same time, Trillium, native orchids and other wildflowers spread like a colorful blanket through open meadows and forests.

When the county’s renowned cherry orchards and apple trees spring to life each May, the brilliance of their delicate and sweet-smelling blossoms takes the county by storm.

"Easter Gifts Have Changed: That Bunny Brings More Than Food; Need Ideas?

Easter gifts have changed. Long gone are the days when a bunny with an identity crisis thought he was a chicken and laid eggs in the grass. In retrospect, this first, misguided rabbit had a wonderfully-practical Easter gift idea. Easter gifts of food are always appreciated and rarely forgotten in the back of a closet. 2211-milk-chocolate-easter-bunny-L (2)Easter eggs are an especially nutritious food; decorate them in pretty colors and children may even eat them. Hard-boiled eggs are so versatile; they can be mixed into salads and appetizers. Hard-boiled eggs were the very first pre-packaged, travel food. How ingenious! But today's Easter bunny has matured in his gift-giving." Source: Edible Antics - Having Fun With Food: Easter Gifts Have Changed: That Bunny Brings More Than Food; Need Ideas?

"Swiss Gruyere best cheese in world; Wisconsin takes most gold in U.S.
By Karen Herzog of the Journal Sentinel

March 18, 2010 12:34 p.m. |(16) Comments

A gorgeous wheel of Gruyere from Switzerland was just named best cheese in the world at the 2010 World Cheese Championship in Madison.

The smear-ripened cheese, which is washed in a brine to add flavor and character, topped 2,317 other cheese entries from 20 nations around the world in the biennial contest sponsored by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association.

Twenty-one of the top 78 cheeses judged in Thursday's final round were made by Wisconsin cheese makers. But none of the 21 gold medal winners in their clases placed in the top three overall. Wisconsin still fared better than any other U.S. state. New York took six golds, while Idaho earned five and California four.

Another smear-ripened cheese from Switzarland called Andeerer Traum was first runner-up to the Gruyere.

For complete contest results, check out the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association Web site. For recipes and ideas for serving smear-ripened cheeses, check out next Wedneday's Food section. Semi-soft, smear-ripened cheeses made up the largest class in this year's world competition. " Source: Swiss Gruyere best cheese in world; Wisconsin takes most gold in U.S. - JSOnline

KC's total was about 2,000 more than the catch of Manitowoc, Two Rivers, Sheboygan and Port Washington combined. Eastern Door County, with an estimate of 35,000, was second.

Meanwhile, Kewaunee County anglers were also No. 1 in rainbow trout — commonly called steelhead, or 'bows — with more than 13,500. Port Washington, at almost 6,000, was second." Source: Naze: County No. 1 in chinooks, 'bows | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

"Wisconsin Families Making Maple Syrup Signals Spring Is Back! Tour The Sugar Bushes
Spring is back in Wisconsin! Wisconsin maple syrup producers are tapping the trees! Wisconsin is dappled with maple syrup family farms, called Sugar Bushes. Syrup and pancakes And while cows snooze, Wisconsin families are in the woods collecting buckets of sap which they will boil into pure maple syrup. Accept no substitutions! Leave that maple-flavored corn syrup on the grocery-store shelf! Pour REAL maple syrup on your pancakes and you'll taste REAL Wisconsin.

You can tour some Wisconsin sugar bushes and see the whole maple syrup producing process. The Maple Sweet Dairy in DePere, WI is holding the next open house on March 21st. Keep reading for more Wisconsin signs of spring and a real buttermilk pancake recipe.

Kids love pancakes Long ago someone told me that a special secret to making great pancakes was to let the batter sit awhile before frying it. So this time, I mixed up the batter, took a shower and dressed and when I returned to the batter, the ingredients had mixed so that air bubbles were in the batter. I think the bubbles made the pancakes extra light and fluffy. These homemade buttermilk pancakes blew away boxed pancake mix. Such better flavor! And it really only takes a handful of minutes more to whip up these homemade pancakes.

And of course, my kids loved them swimming in real Wisconsin maple syrup!" Source: Edible Antics - Having Fun With Food: Wisconsin Families Making Maple Syrup Signals Spring Is Back! Tour The Sugar Bushes

Green Bay follows Kewaunee's example - An Irish Parade!

Wisely, the Mayor predicts it will take years to build the event to match Kewaunee's Cork's famous parade!

"The city of Green Bay will mark St. Patrick's Day next week with a celebration of music, dance, fireworks and a parade that Mayor Jim Schmitt hopes becomes an annual and growing tradition.

Schmitt hopes the event will pick up speed and become one of the city's major downtown events in three years, when St. Patrick's Day falls on a Saturday.

Murphy said he was proud of his Irish heritage, the chance to serve as honorary parade marshal and to be a part of the event.

Jon Kolb, one of the founders of the Shamrock Club, said plans already are under way to help the event grow to include a fun run and a food drive for St. Patrick's Parish's charity efforts." Source: St. Patrick's Day bash in works for Green Bay | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette
