Old World Wisconsin first opened in 1976. Researchers traveled throughout Wisconsin in search of historic buildings crafted by the first generation of Wisconsin immigrants and migrants. From Lake Superior to the Illinois border\, and from the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan\, historians documented countless historic farmhouses\, outbuildings and small-town structures. Once research was complete\, the meticulous construction of Old World Wisconsin began. Piece by piece\, workers carefully dismantled historic structures from around the state and reconstructed them in their new home.
