🏈 We Take Our Football Seriously! 🏈

August is all about celebrating our community's rich football heritage at the Historic Galloway House and Village!

Today, we welcomed a special traveling exhibit from the Wisconsin State Historical Society that explores the history of football and the lasting impact the game has had on communities across Wisconsin. From unforgettable moments on the field to traditions that have united generations, this exhibit is a must-see and will be on display all month long.

The football fun continues this weekend at our 70th Annual Ice Cream Social! Be sure to join us for a special presentation on Curly Lambeau, the legendary founder of the Green Bay Packers. Learn about his remarkable life, his connection to Wisconsin, and the legacy that helped shape one of football's most iconic franchises.

Whether you're a lifelong football fan or simply love local history, August is the perfect time to visit the Historic Galloway House and Village. Come explore the exhibit, enjoy the Ice Cream Social, and discover why we take our football seriously! 🏈🍦
