Making the Journey with Old World Wisconsin

We are happy to welcome speakers from Old World Wisconsin back to our library! Old World Wisconsin is a one-of-a kind place where the modern world fades away to reveal over a century of history. The site includes 60 authentically restored historic homes, farms, stores, and workshops. 

“Making the Journey” is based on Old World Wisconsin’s on-site programming. But we are bringing the experience to you! A OWW staff member in historic clothing will bring an immigrant trunk full of their collection's items. During the hour-long program you will have a chance to explore the objects and discuss immigrants' experiences in coming to Wisconsin, as well as have time to share your own stories!
