$17 – $22
Halloween Legends and Lore returns to Old World Wisconsin for two weekends! We are huge fans of Old World Wisconsin and love visiting in different seasons for totally different experiences. The summer experience is vastly different from the fall Halloween Legends and Lore experience. That is what makes a visit to Old World Wisconsin so amazing for the family – always a new and different experience and there’s something for everyone to learn and be in awe of on site.

About Old World Wisconsin:
Old World Wisconsin includes 60 authentically restored historic homes, farms, stores and workshops. Each region features a distinct set of stories that invite you to experience the hopes and dreams of those who came before us. From the 1840s to the 1940s, you’ll find a true panorama of early Wisconsin history, covering more than 70 years and many cultures, including African American, Danish, Finnish, Hessian, Irish, Norwegian, Polish, Pomeranian and Yankee.
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.
