Travel Through Time and the Stories of America’s Heartland
Experience the world of Wisconsin’s early immigrants at Old World Wisconsin. 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!

We have 4 tickets that we won't be using... and it's breaking my heart! If you're a fan, I'd love for you to have them. Please like my comment and message me if you're interested. Thanks ♥️
I'm happy to transfer my 4 tickets to anyone who's interested, I can also split them if you need 1,2 or 3! for less than what I paid.
Would love to know if anyone still needs tickets? I've got four extra due to a change of plans and I'm looking to sell them for less. Thanks 🥂
