Travel Through Time and the Stories of America’s Heartland
Experience the world of Wisconsin’s early immigrants at Old World Wisconsin this spring. Step into the daily lives of the people who called this world home as you help with chores and cooking, try your hand at crafts and trades, and play – yes, even the grown-ups! Lend a hand in the blacksmith shop, say hi to the farm animals, look at veggies in the gardens, dye and spin wool, knead bread, collect chicken eggs, try on wooden shoes, ride high-wheel tricycles, and sample tasty beer in the Brewhouse. This is where history comes alive!

Happy National Arbor Day at Old World Wisconsin!
We're busy planting heirloom apple, pear, and cherry trees today in some of our orchards. These trees have wonderful sounding names like Duchess of Oldenburg, Grimes Golden, and Roxbury Russet - thought to be the oldest apple cultivar in the United States. They will help complete the authentic farm and village historical experience we share every day we're open at Old World Wisconsin.
Come check out our newest additions when we open NEXT WEEKEND for our Spring season. Tickets and more information available at wihist.org/3ag3Wp5 ... See MoreSee Less
