Old World Wisconsin is a dynamic historic site with over 60 historic buildings, many heritage breed animals, multiple heirloom gardens and facilitators in period clothing that bring this 600 acre site to life for over 70,000 visitors annually.
Businesses are realizing the social and economic benefit of non-profit partnerships with organizations such as Old World Foundation/Old World Wisconsin. With your help, we can preserve the valuable lessons of the past for generations to come. Business partners are eligible to receive various benefits and recognition for their philanthropic support.
We appreciate our Corporate Partners for the support they give to Old World Wisconsin through Old World Foundation.
The Halloween Legends and Lore event at OWW was enhanced by several of our corporate partners.
In addition to Generac’s support of the Sorghum Maze at Old World Wisconsin’s Halloween Legends and Lore, their team also provided volunteer support during the event.
We also want to thank the teams from Annex Wealth Management, Citizens Bank, Generac and Milwaukee Tool for participating in our first Corporate Pumpkin Carving Contest. The spider pumpkin carved by Generac won the People’s Choice, followed closely by Annex Wealth Partner’s owl with Citizens Bank’s cozy cottage and Milwaukee Tool’s traditional scary face tied for third place.
