Jung Carriage Museum.   𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Wade House Stagecoach Inn was constructed conveniently between the cities of Fond du Lac and Sheboygan\, along a well-used stagecoach trail. This made the 27-room Greek Revival hotel a popular resting point for weary travelers. Three generations of the Wade family resided on the Wade House property\, with the stagecoach inn operating until around 1872. The Kohler family and the Kohler Foundation purchased Wade House in 1950 and began a top-to-bottom restoration. The site became property of the Wisconsin Historical Society and opened to the public in 1953. Here\, visitors can journey back to the horse-powered world that existed before planes\, cars\, and trains. The site features the stagecoach hotel built and owned by Sylvanus and Betsey Wade\, early settlers of Greenbush\, as well as a blacksmith shop\, sawmill\, and the Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum\, which houses Wisconsin’s largest collection of carriages and wagons. Visitors can enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides from the visitor center to the historic core and back again.

SUMMARY:🎶 Thursdayz @ Franklin - Two Fifths Party Band
DESCRIPTION:2/5ths is rooted in Wisconsin and German Polka. We play many of the songs from the JS Band. We are adding tunes all the time to give our shows a little extra kick. We’re expanding our selections to include classic swing tunes and country tunes by Willie Nelson\, Patsy Cline\, Hank Williams\, Bob Gibson and more!! Wed love to see you at one of our shows. Check out the Events page to see where well be next. Why 2/5ths??? We get a lot of questions asking why we call ourselves 2/5ths Party Band. Here’s the answer: The very first engagement of what would become the 2/5ths Party Band was Tom and Patti duo for the 60th wedding anniversary of George and Irene Simon of DePere. The Jerry Schneider Band was comprised of 5 members our first performance was 2 of the 5. Since then\, we’ve grown it to 4 members\, remaining the 2/5ths Party Band\, a continuing tribute to Jerry Schneider and the role he played in getting us all to perform together. Thanks Dad!! Bring your lawn chairs and join us for this FREE concert series at Franklin Park! Opportunities to support local businesses and nonprofits through our food trucks and 50/50 raffles each week!
