Funding Old World Wisconsin with stewardship and integrity since 1984. Old World Wisconsin Foundation enhances the preservation of Wisconsin history through local, independent support of museum visitation, educational outreach, and the maintenance of artifacts and buildings, particularly at Old World Wisconsin museum. Old World Wisconsin takes you back to the 1800s, when immigrants shaped their destinies on the Wisconsin frontier. Staff and volunteers engage visitors as they interpret the settlers' stories and provide opportunities for fun, memorable hands-on experiences.
