About the Event

Enlarge

Relive the heyday of the Pendarvis House restaurant with a special workshop, tour and dinner highlighting Mineral Point's signature dish, the Cornish pasty. This special experience begins at the Walker House Inn and restaurant where cooks will guide you through the process of cooking the perfect pasty, using a similar Pendarvis House recipe, with beef or vegetarian options. While dinner cooks in the oven, you'll make your own way to Pendarvis Historic Site for a special tour before sitting down to enjoy your culinary creation.

In keeping with the restaurant's tradition, guests may bring their own bottle of wine (limit of one bottle per two guests). No carry-ins of beer or liquor are allowed. Soft drinks are available onsite. You do not have to be 21 or older to attend.

About the Location

Tucked away in historic Mineral Point, Pendarvis celebrates the restoration and preservation efforts of Robert Neal and Edgar Hellum, who saved a significant part of Wisconsin’s past. Their legacy includes the six historic stone and stone-and-log cottages which comprise Pendarvis today, built by Cornish immigrants in the 1840s during the Wisconsin Territory's lead-mining boom. Nearby Merry Christmas Mine Hill still bears the signs of early mining activity, and a 43-acre restored prairie reveals the unspoiled wilderness found by the first arriving settlers.
