67th Annual Ice Cream Social

August 13, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Bring the whole family to the Historic Galloway House and Village for our 67th Annual Ice Cream Social! There’s so much more to this event than ice cream!

Visit the Brothertown Indian Exhibit, stop by the Village Post Office to see our vintage postcard display and some postcards to mail yourself, see our new Newtons: First Family exhibit, enjoy the music of the talented Fond du Lac Children’s Chorale, marvel at the Wisconsin Wheelmen riding on their High Wheelers, be entertained by local favorite Page Four, and meet our Celebrity Scoopers.

We’ll also have tours of the Village Firehouse, a program on the Great Fire of 1871, Blakely Museum tours (new exhibits!), and live printing press demonstrations. Visit the Willow Lawn School House to and hear what life was like for school kids years ago. Special for the kids, we’ve lined up balloon twisting, face painting, historic games, petting zoo, and a variety of crafts. Kids can also paint, race, and take home a pinewood derby car ($2, while supplies last).

Plan to spend the day at this historic event — mac and cheese, pulled pork, brats, burgers, hot dogs, pie, Gilles Frozen Custard, A&W Root Beer Floats, and more available for purchase. Don’t miss it!

Regular admission applies; ages 6 and under are free!
