Partnerships

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 are thrilled that Milwaukee Tool – Mukwonago Operations has renewed their support this year. They state: "At Milwaukee Tool we strive for excellence beyond our work. Helping to transform our local communities by lending our expertise, resources, leadership, and influence. We work to improve outcomes in the highest-needed areas of our communities: hunger, housing, veterans, and education. We invest in our employees and give them the time and opportunities to give back. We focus on giving back to the communities where we live and work.

Our partnership with Old World Wisconsin through the Old World Foundation provides rewarding opportunities for our team to volunteer for projects on the grounds as well as opportunities for tool donations. We want our partnership to help Old World Wisconsin identify, understand, and increase their impact on the community. As part of the local community, Old World Wisconsin is a pillar of local history that inspires curiosity and learning."

Thank you to Milwaukee Tool for their continued generous support!
