Journey back to the past at Old World Wisconsin, a vivid late 19th century re-creation of the working farmsteads and settlements established by European immigrants in America's heartland in search of a better life. Many of the buildings are reconstructed or translocated. The park is divided into themed areas that represent typical settlement from various immigrant cultures.

Discover teams of oxen and horses working in the fields, the farm folk preparing hearty meals over wood-burning stoves, and the heirloom plants in well-tended gardens. Stroll through the 1880s Village and chat with the town blacksmith or the keeper of the general store. The 1870s come alive in the re-creation of a rural village. You'll see the spirit of the residents in the 1880s Village and understand the economic, social, religious and political fabric that bound this community together.
