A story-filled adventure. Free admission.

Affectionately known as the Christmas Tree Ship, the Rouse Simmons vanished off the coast of Two Rivers on Nov. 23, 1912, heavily laden with evergreens destined for Chicago. The schooner's final resting place remained hidden beneath the waves for 59 years until it was discovered resting just 165 feet below the surface—and still filled with Christmas trees.

Alcohol and nonalcoholic drinks available for purchase at the limited bar.

Doors and bar open at 4:30pm. The talk and live stream begin at 5.
