Building Old World Wisconsin
If you have always wondered how Old World Wisconsin was created, please join us for our historic preservation fundraiser - a documentary premier: "Building Old World Wisconsin".

"Building Old World Wisconsin" is a documentary as heard and seen through Alan Pape, early construction supervisor to Old World Wisconsin in the 1970s. Hear stories of living on site, how the buildings were discovered, deconstructed, and re-constructed at their new site. Learn about the 'Art of Rubbernecking', plus hear interesting behind the scenes stories that most people don't know about the largest living history attraction in the Midwest, Old World Wisconsin.

Tickets: $50 each for the public, discounted for Friends Partners at the Homesteader Level and above.

All guests are invited to stay for the Old World Foundation Annual Meeting from 3:30-4:30. Hear about the impact our Friends have made at Old World Wisconsin with their support.
