Calendar & Events

  1. Bustle Hustle 5K Run/Walk

    May 2, 2010   Registration: 8 am. Race begins: 10 am. Museum opens at noon. Are you willing to brave the "Bustle Hustle"? Our very first 5K run/walk goes through the museum grounds including the Crossroads Village, farmyards, up and down the rolling hills of the Kettle Moraine and even through a field or two! Registration packet includes a T-shirt, admission discount coupon and more.

  2. Rituals of Spring

    May 15, 2010   10 am-5 pm Join us in readying the farmsteads for the growing season. See draft horses plow the croplands and learn about the importance of sorghum as you observe its planting. Watch wool go from fleece to fiber as you see how stock dogs herd sheep, the sheep are hand sheared, and the wool is carded, spun and dyed. Help the historic farmers assemble an antique sawmill. Plant a little history in your backyard with something from our heirloom plant sale.

    View a one-minute video about the the Rituals of Spring event on YouTube, and visit Old World Wisconsin's new YouTube channel.

  3. Barn Dance

    May 15, 2010   6-9 pm Come join us for a rollicking evening of live music and dancing — no prior knowledge required! So popular in 2009 that we added three dances this year — this being the first! Held rain or shine in the upper loft of our Clausing Barn. We'll have snacks and drinks available to purchase. The next barn dance will be held July 24.
