2025 Wisconsin Master Class Series #2 of 4
The Wisconsin Supper Clubs Story
Presented by Ron Faiola

@ The Hilltop (Cross Plains, WI)
Wednesday, June 18, 2025, 5pm - 8pm

JUST 75 SEATS. REGISTER TODAY.


Are you a true Sconnie? Whether you are a born-and-bred Wisconsinite or a transplant smitten with your adopted home—Mount Horeb’s downtown Driftless Historium invites you to Part Two of the 2025 Wisconsin Master Class Series. 

Join us at the iconic Hilltop supper club located at 4173 County Road P in Cross Plains on Wednesday, June 18 at 6:00 p.m. to hear “The Wisconsin Supper Clubs Story,” presented by author and filmmaker Ron Faiola—as heard on WPR’s popular Larry Meiller Show. Admission includes one free cocktail and family-style relish trays during a 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. pre-event Happy Hour.

Ron Faiola has been called “Wisconsin’s legacy filmmaker” and a “supper club guru.”  His best-selling book series on Wisconsin Supper Clubs helped ignite supper club fever in the Badger State. 
His critically acclaimed documentary films have appeared on PBS stations nationwide and he has earned mentions in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. 

Guests are encouraged to stay for an optional Wisconsin classic culinary experience following the lecture. The Hilltop restaurant, founded in 1938 by Carl and Gertrude (Kahl) Buechner and currently owned by Steve and Vanessa McKenzie, is offering a supper club-staples menu for this event. Attendees may choose from three dinner entrees: New York Strip, the cod (with Hilltop’s famous scalloped au gratin potatoes), or a wedge salad (for the city folks). Full details and prices can be found on the registration page. 

This is a ticketed event, with just 75 seats available. The cost is $20 per person for general admission; $15 for MHAHS Members up to $100 Level, and FREE for MHAHS After Supper Club Member level ($125) and above. Your general admission tickets include one free drink (house wine or rail cocktail) and family-style relish tray appetizers during Happy Hour from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., followed by the presentation at 6:00 p.m. The after-presentation dinner option is an additional charge.

To register today, visit https://www.mthorebhistory.org/masterclass2of4_registration.html
NOTE that Event Registration and the Optional Dinner will be separate transactions!


Please note that registration closes on Sunday, June 08, 2025. 
Need help? (We admit the registration website is confusing!) Call the Driftless Historium at 608-437-6486 or email [email protected]. 

The Driftless Historium’s “Wisconsin Master Class Series” continues with Euchre (September), and Cheese and Sausage (October). Attend all four and receive your “Very Official Wisconsin Expert” diploma.
