Heritage Hill State Historical Park is a 50 acre living history museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Beautifully nestled on the banks of the Fox River, Heritage Hill brings history to life for thousands of visitors annually.
A delicious pancake and porkie Breakfast in the Park kicks off Heritage Hill’s Spring Celebration.

Baby farm animals join the on-site stock, providing hands on fun and numerous photo opportunities.
In addition to historic farm activities and implements, the park is filled with demonstrations and activities including storytelling, butter making, a petting zoo, several antique cars, shingle making, games and crafts for children.
