Relax and enjoy a Sunday afternoon at its finest. Not just another Sunday lunch – it’s an invitation to be part of something meaningful, delicious, and fun while contributing to a special fundraiser in support of the Waukesha County Green Team.

Hosted at the Rustic Manor 1848, an idyllic historic home and barn nestled on the Bark River in the heart of Lake County. Enjoy local food prepared by Flour Girl and Flame, Kettle Range Meats, Karl's Country Market, and Honeypie Cafe plus live music by the Dennis Klopfer Jazz Trio, fun activities, a silent auction and an idyllic rustic setting perfect for families, couples, and friends.

Directions to Rustic Manor 1848 During Construction
We recommend guests using Google Maps for directions, as there are construction changes daily near the venue. We won't necessarily be aware of the construction routes in advance. Guests can also visit the Rustic Manor 1848 Construction Page for more detailed information.

NEW This Year! We will honor Nicci Sternitzky of Elm Grove with an Eco-Visionary Award for her passionate care of our environment and making the world a better place for future generations.
