New Year’s Eve – December 31st
Between 1918 and 1956, the pricing and standards of cheese throughout the US were set at the National Cheese Exchange located in downtown Plymouth. Known as “Cheeseville” in those days, the town was a hub of cheese manufacturing, storage, and shipping. Today, Plymouth retains its title as the “Cheese Capital of the World” as the home to four major cheese companies: Sargento, Masters Gallery, Sartori, and Great Lakes Cheese.
Cozy up beside the Christmas fireplace of a haunted Wisconsin farmhouse and relax to the sounds of a crackling fire, howling wind and restless spirits.
