Heritage Hill State Historical Park, Open-air history museum in Allouez, United States.
Description
Heritage Hill State Historical Park is an open-air museum with 26 historical buildings and reproduction structures across 56 acres in Brown County. The buildings are divided into four separate areas that represent different time periods in the region's past.
History
The park was established in 1972 on the grounds of a former prison farm and opened to the public in 1977. Since then, it has preserved dozens of structures from northeastern Wisconsin, including several buildings registered on the National Register of Historic Places.
Culture
The Belgian Farmstead section shows how early European immigrants lived and farmed in Wisconsin. Visitors can see how these families arranged their homes and managed their fields.
Practical
The park is easy to navigate on foot with clear pathways between the different historical sections. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are uneven and a full tour can take several hours.
Did you know?
The Tank Cottage from 1776 is one of six buildings in the park listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This house is especially notable because it shows how early settlers lived in very basic conditions.
