The Longest Table Sheboygan County
2026-07-11 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Sheboygan County Museum, 3110 Erie Avenue, Sheboygan, WI, 53081, United States
For America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, Sheboygan County Museum will be an official location of The Longest Table Sheboygan County. This fun and free event will gather people from around the county to share a meal, socialize, and celebrate all the different ways we call America and Sheboygan County “home.”

Saturday, July 11, 20265:00pm – 7:00pm

All attendees should bring a dish to pass. Whether it’s fruit salad or arepas con queso, let the dish say something about you. From 3:00pm-5:00pm, Sheboygan County Museum will offer free, after-hours access for event attendees. Sheboygan Poet Laureate Anneliese Finke is writing a poem for the event, and Table Captains at each table will support conversation and connection.

Because attendees will be grouped into tables before the event, pre-registration is required. If a Table Captain has reached out to you specifically, that person will RSVP on your behalf.

Dutch Immigration to Wisconsin: Assimilation vs Integration
Mary Risseeuw MA, MFA
There have been four significant waves of Dutch immigration to Wisconsin since the 1840s. What they found here was a delicate interplay of immigrant cultures at work, at worship, and in relationships. Their story is one of building community and decisions made on accepting the ‘outsider’—and being one. Renowned writer and speaker in both the United States and Netherlands, Mary Risseeuw takes listeners on a journey from the farms of Holland to diverse endeavors of Europeans of Sheboygan County.
