GO PACK GO
We received a shipment of new books for the Greene Store at Heritage Village. Though not a normal feature of our living history museum, American football has been around since the late 1860s. With football history in our backyard we included this new book, Lambeau Ladies, from the Wisconsin Historical Press at our store. We will share other new books soon.
