Exploring the Cranberry Legacy
The Cranberry Discovery Center is dedicated to showcasing the rich history of the cranberry industry in the Warrens, Wisconsin area. Our exhibits feature a 1920s-era Bailey cranberry sorting mill, a fresh fruit packing line, and historical cranberry raking machinery, offering visitors a unique insight into the evolution of cranberry cultivation.
In addition to our cranberry exhibits, we celebrate the village's origins as a logging town and honor the Warrens Cranberry Festival, a significant event in our local heritage. Visitors can also enjoy our gift shop and café, and we offer coach bus tours and school trips to provide immersive experiences for all.
