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.
