The annual event — featuring ironwork, new displays, music, food and a Craft and Vendor Market — will run from noon to 4 p.m. at the IXL Historical Museum, W5561 River St. in Hermansville.

One of the day’s highlights will be the return of blacksmith Dave Hudson of Hermansville. “He will be doing forging demonstration in the permanent shop added to the grounds this year,” IXL Board Secretary Janey Hudson said.

Attendees will be able to visit crafter and vendor booths while touring the grounds of the multi-complex museum.

Board member Amanda Whitens will be among the artists featured at the market. “She is very talented and will have several pieces on display for sale,” Hudson said.

Hudson also will sell her bears that are handmade from towels and blankets. Funds raised from the bear sales will be donated back to the museum.

Handcrafted iron pieces from the blacksmith shop will be available for purchase as well. Any profit from the sales will also go to the museum.

The Curious Pig restaurant of Crystal Falls will bring its food truck to offer several of its specialty menu items.

“It was a hit with everyone last year, as they sold out,” she said.

We Be Poppin’ will sell kettle corn. “We thought this would be a fun addition,” Hudson said.

IXL Historical Museum Board members will make root beer floats, as well as sell June Schoen’s popular homemade sugar cookies. All funds raised from the kettle corn, floats and cookies will go back to the museum, she added.

“We had a very generous person come forward and will match the total of all donations the IXL Museum takes in during Vintage Day event,” she said, adding how important these funds are as they operate on donations only.

The group Willow Ridge will perform throughout the afternoon.

Everyone is encouraged to bring a lawn chair to sit, relax and enjoy lunch and the entertainment.

The Menominee County Bookmobile will be on site for residents to check out books.

All the buildings will be open for tours for the event.

Several changes have been made to the displays within the warehouse building and carriage house.

“Ken Olson has been working on displays that will actually look like a store way back when,” she said. “He has also rearranged the carriage house.”

Improvements, including new paint, have been done on the caboose, she said. “It’s looking really good,” she added.

Hudson also encourages everyone to check out the large main office building that was the original office and headquarters of the Wisconsin Land & Lumber Company, founded by Charles J. L. Meyer in Fond du Lac, Wis., and moved to what became Hermansville in 1882. The Queen Anne-style building contains artifacts from the 19th century with minimal changes from the 20th or 21st century.

“It’s so cool to see, as everything in the offices is still as it was left all those years ago,” she said.

Those who haven’t visited the museum yet this year will notice the newly opened second-floor kitchen.

In addition, they can tour the original “company house,” one of the oldest homes in Hermansville, and the railroad depot.

The special event was first known as Old Wheel Day, created from an idea by the late Eugene “Gene” Arduin. About 15 years ago the name changed to Vintage Day to feature anything “vintage.”

“The weather so far looks to be nice; it’s a perfect time to check out all the renovations and changes at the museum,” Hudson said. “Having all the extra activities is just a bonus.”

Museum hours are 12:30 to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday. It will close for the season on Labor Day weekend.
