What's involved with a 'work day' at the Lutze Housebarn??

The Lutze Housebarn is one of the sites featured on a recent Barns of Wisconsin documentary.

Everyone interested in preserving rural history, wood working or learning old time skills are invited to participate from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

If you'd like to join in with hands on-timber framing and stone masonry, we can use your help, no experience required! Primary areas for year 2010 include cataloging of artifacts, timber frame structural repair, stone masonry, door and trim installation, clay nogging, siding, window carpentry, and conclusion of detailed drawings for National Archives.

Workdays are scheduled for almost every other Saturday throughout the year from March 27 through November 20th. Spend quality time and have fun while learning a historically significant skill in a rural setting. All are welcome, things to do for the whole family, this is an all ages show!

For first time volunteers, and for those who prefer to watch the progress and "old-time" crafts, tours of the 3 ½ story 100 foot long half timbered structure will be featured along with related demonstrations and stories of the old timers of the area.

How to prepare for a Housebarn Workday

Wear work clothes and sturdy shoes or boots, and bring gloves. We can provide tools and materials, along with training!

If you have safety equipment such as goggles, hearing protection, hard hat, etc., bring them, if not we will have them for you.

Please "register" in advance, it helps a lot in both our food and tool planning.

For further information and registration, please contact volunteer coordinator Kathy Pearce at phone (920) 451-1134 or email kpear (at) centrevillesettlement.com.
