Old World Wisconsin To Reopen

Old World Wisconsin is having a Grand Reopening Celebration Saturday July 24th and Sunday July 25th!
This wonderful historic site had been closed due to a tornado on June 21st, where many trees were downed, but fortunately most of it's historic building were spared from much damage.
If you get a chance to visit, Old World Wisconsin showcases farm buildings and homesteads from across Wisconsin that were carefully dismantled and brought to Eagle, Wisconsin, then reassembled to preserve our state's history.
For more information on the Grand Reopening see Old World Wisconsin Event Calendar
