It’s fall in the Kettle Moraine! Celebrate this most colorful time of the year with traditional autumnal activities for the entire family. Try your hand at pumpkin or turnip carving, apple pressing and festive games like Snap Apple. The celebration continues in the candlelit Herrling Sawmill where visitors will not only hear the rumble of an up-and-down water-powered saw but also spooky, family-friendly accounts of tales from the past. Warm up with hot apple cider and enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides through the site. The Wade House Stagecoach Inn, Dockstader Blacksmith Shop, Herrling Sawmill and Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum will be open to guests.
