Sign Up for Jacksonport Historic Cabins Walk at Maifest

A cottage, dating from the 1930s, on Lakeshore Road.

The Jacksonport Historic Cabins Walk is scheduled for August 5, but promotion of this fundraising event begins at Maifest, May 25 – 26, when tickets will first become available.

The walk will be divided into three 90-minute segments of four to six cabins each: the southern portion of Lakeshore Road in the early morning, cottages in the village in the late morning, and cabins along the northern section of Lakeshore Road in the afternoon. Advance purchase is recommended because each segment is limited to 60 participants.

Between segments, cabin visitors will have free time for a morning coffee break and lunch. Along with a complete schedule and suggestions for parking, participants will receive a list of participating cabins and historic village restaurants.

Nonrefundable tickets for all three segments will be available for a donation of $25 per person; donations for individual segments are $10 each. All proceeds go to the development fund for the Jacksonport Historical Society (JHS) museum. For tickets, send checks made payable to Jacksonport Historical Society, along with a self-addressed stamped envelope, to Eileen Roberts, 4768 Highway 57, Sturgeon Bay.

At Maifest, JHS will also sell collages of historic cottages. Each framed collage includes three photos and will be available for a donation of $30. There will be a reduced price of $50 for anyone purchasing two collages.
