Annual Events
A Wade House Christmas
Weekends in December
Experience the wonder of a 19th-century Christmas at Wade House. The sights, sounds, and smells transport you back to when the holidays had a stronger focus on family gatherings and time together. The historic Wade House Stagecoach Inn halls will be decked out for the holiday season, showcasing how the Wade family and their many visitors would have celebrated the festive season.
Autumn Celebration Weekend
Weekends in October
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.
