Whether you wear your favorite light up shamrock headband, green sweater, or 19th century ball gown - this ball is sure to be a good time. No experience necessary!
As we continue to research the rich history of our historic Meeme House, we know the Herr family and the community loved to celebrate and have a gathering. Pictured here is an advertisement from the Feb 26, 1869 edition of the Manitowoc Pilot, showcasing a "Fenian Ball".
The community of Irish immigrants near Meeme, present day Osman, were proud of their heritage and their mother country. This heritage shines through in the formation of the “Gibbons Circle,” a organization formed under the Fenian Brotherhood of America. Learn what this organization represented for Irish Americans right here in Manitowoc County in the 1860s.
