Old World Wisconsin is an engaging exhibit that gives visitors a picture of what life looked like in the state at the end of the 19th century, when a wave of immigrants arrived in the Midwest to settle and begin new lives. The exhibit consists of a re-creation of an 1880s farming village, complete with livestock in the fields, a local blacksmith, and a general store.

There are many unique activities that give guests a real perspective on the daily lives of the former settlers. This means learning about making handicrafts, working on the farm, and sitting in at the one-room schoolhouse. With plenty to do, this museum is the largest in the world dedicated to rural history.
