Cornish Pasties (pronounced “PAST-ease”) are hand pies with savory fillings, and come in several delicious flavors (see below), offered frozen with baking instructions. Pasty sales occur twice per year, and the next pasty pick-up will take place on November 18, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. as a drive-by curbside operation in the spacious outdoor area between A&W Restaurant and the Millennium Cinema at 111 Millennium Drive, Platteville. (This new pick-up place has replaced the Museum as the location.) Bulk discounts encourage you to stock your freezer! This fundraiser benefits The Mining & Rollo Jamison Museums.
Celebrate the birth of Wisconsin and its Badger State identity with the food that our earliest miners ate: Cornish pasty! Pasties and have been a staple of the diet of Cornwall – where many of the world’s greatest miners originated – for more than 700 years. Pasties were enjoyed by Wisconsin’s pre-Civil War lead miners, and are still considered a delicious treat. Enjoy the authentic and award-winning taste of Cornish pasties from the Walker House in Mineral Point. These 7-ounce pasties are offered frozen, to be baked at home for a piping hot meal and accompanied by your favorite condiment. We recommend chili sauce.
