If you’ve read my latest mystery, Lies of Omission, you’ve met protagonist Hanneke Bauer, a newly arrived Pomeranian immigrant. Her story is set in 1855.
Hanneke’s new home is a fictionalized version of a real historic building once occupied by the Schulz family. The house, which has been restored at Old World Wisconsin, is a rare and fascinating example of an Old World architectural style.
Would you like to learn more? I have partnered with historian Alan Pape, and with Old World Wisconsin, to offer a special tour.
Participants will get a glimpse of Hanneke’s world, and see the spots where some of the action took place.
As a special treat, Alan Pape will share his knowledge of Pomeranian architecture in Wisconsin, including half-timbered houses, black kitchens, and other outbuildings. Alan served as restoration chief at Old World Wisconsin from 1971-1983, and oversaw the development of “Hanneke’s farm” at the historic site.
The tour will take place on Sunday, May 22, 2022, from 9 AM – 11AM.
Space for this unique experience is limited. The Wisconsin Historical Society is handling registration. Click HERE for more information and to book tickets.
I hope you can join us. I’m excited!
