The Winnebago County Historical and Archaeological Society has announced the return of a very popular summer attraction – ‘Pie On The Porch.’ This very popular destination will return to the Morgan House on July 11, August 8, and September 19, 2026!
This popular fundraiser returns for another season of offering delicious home-baked pies and cool, refreshing drinks. Visitors are invited to tour the Morgan House, enjoy a slice of delicious pie, and spend a relaxing morning surrounded by local history and community. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply looking for a pleasant way to start your day, Pie on the Porch offers a warm welcome and a taste of the past.
Pies offered each week are the result of hard work by a team of volunteer pie bakers. Some of these bakers will provide as many as three pies per week, which helps the society keep up with the demand.
The Winnebago County Historical Society maintains a strong presence in historical preservation in Winnebago County, Wisconsin. The society is located at 234 Church Avenue in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in the former residence of John R. Morgan, founder of the Morgan Company. The Morgan House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and is a house museum consistent with 1880s furnishings and fine art. Tours of the Morgan House can be booked by appointment (with the exception of the summer season, where regular hours will be posted). Tours last about 20-30 minutes and are free for all visitors. We look forward to seeing you at the Morgan House!
Pie on the Porch takes many hands to make things happen every other Saturday. A team of volunteers arrives around 6:30 am to set up the canopies, tables, and chairs. Others will spend their morning there cutting pie and working in the tent, serving pie and refreshments. On any given week, there may be as many as 15-20 volunteers involved with baking, setup, serving, and take down.
Pie on the Porch is the Society's biggest fundraiser of the season. Domer pointed out, “We are a non-profit, 501c3 organization that relies fully on memberships, donations, and fundraisers to fulfill our mission to preserve our local history for future generations. POTP is a critical element in our ability to serve”
