RIP, Annette Funicello
Today, the world mourns the loss of Annette Funicello. While this news has no direct link with Mazomanie history, aficionados of our fair village may be interested to learn that Mazomanie native Clark Lewis Paylow was the assistant director for several of her films: Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, and Pajama Party. Clark Paylow would later go on to be the associate producer of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Held at the Mazomanie Cemetery, The Mazomanie Historical Society is pleased to present a special living history program in conjunction with the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. Local actors and history enthusiasts will don period dress to bring to life selected individuals from Mazomanie's rich Civil War history. Visitors will experience first-person encounters at each gravesite through scripted vignettes. Tours will begin every quarter hour between 7:00 and 9:00pm. Each guided tour will last approximately one hour.
