The Fort Howard Fife and Drum Corps was founded by Heritage Hill at the beginning of 2023, thanks to a donation from the late James Griesinger.

The Corps works with youth age 10 to 22, and provides students regular instruction with highly-trained musicians. There is no fee to join and no previous musical instruction necessary in order to participate. As an organization, Heritage Hill is committed to enriching the lives of visitors of all ages by nurturing a deeper understanding and appreciation of the history of Northeastern Wisconsin and its people.
