HIDE


Located on the old Green Bay Road, the Meeme House Inn began as a trading post handling dry goods, groceries, liquors, and tobaccos. Michael Herr built the original structure about 1855 as an inn, providing overnight board and lodging for weary travelers midway between Green Bay and Chicago.

The Meeme House was owned by the Herr family until 1906 when it was sold to Peter DeGrott. In 1909 he sold to Joe Schwartz who operated the establishment until his death in 1947. After Joe’s wife, Minnie, died in 1955 the property was passed onto their daughter Val who operated it until her death in 2012.

The next step will be to move the Inn, its original livery stable and historic poll house to Pinecrest Historical Village where the important steps towards restoration will begin.

The Niles Church, built in 1896 as the First Presbyterian Church, was moved to Pinecrest Historical Village from it’s original location west of Valders, Wisconsin.

Moved to the Village in 1972, the Niles Church is now used for weddings, meetings, and educational programs.

Nestled in the Wisconsin countryside, and surrounded by beautiful Pinecrest Historical Village, the Niles Church is the perfect wedding location. Our staff and volunteers work closely with the wedding couple to ensure a memorable and historic day.

Weddings are available on weekends from May 1st to October 24th. For more information, call the Manitowoc County Historical Society at 920-684-4445.
