Crowdy Crawn
"Crowdy Crawn" is a Cornish expression for "a mixture of fun." Expect a mixture of storytelling, creatures from Cornish legend, lace making, quilting, spinning and other family fun. The event is part of Mineral Point's weekend celebration of Cornish culture.

Location Description: Nestled on a rocky, wooded hillside, Pendarvis comprises six historic stone and stone-and-log cottages built by immigrant Cornish miners in the 1830s and '40s during the Wisconsin Territory's lead-mining boom. Nearby Merry Christmas Mine Hill still bears the signs of early mining activity, and a 43-acre restored prairie reveals the unspoiled wilderness found by the first arriving settlers.
