Grand ReOpening Celebration of Old World Wisconsin
|
| |
Old World Wisconsin throws open its gates to visitors the weekend of July 24 and 25 for a "Grand Reopening Celebration" after being closed for more than a month in the aftermath of a June 21 tornado. The storm downed more than 2’000 trees, primarily inflicting damage upon the museum’s parking area and Visitor Green. No people or animals were hurt, and the historic area and buildings were spared from the most punishing parts of the storm. Dawn St. George, director of Old World Wisconsin, acknowledged the overwhelming outpouring of support the site received during this time: "People have been wonderful, asking how they could help. We’ve taken a big hit financially by being closed for so long, although we had to do it to make sure the site was safe for visitors. I keep telling callers that the best way to support us it to visit us now, and visit us again soon." She laughed and added, "And tell a friend about the experience." The museum opening coincides with an event that had been scheduled for more than a year; it is a fitting coincidence that the site will host "Laura Engalls Wilder Days PLUS Farm Power." Comparisons to the resilience of the Ingalls and Wilder families are inevitable. Overwhelming themes of the "Little House" books are about to change, overcoming obstacles, and bettering one’s circumstances. Seeing the parallel course, St. George felt it was appropriate that the museum reopens with this event, declaring, "We’re writing the next chapter in Old World Wisconsin’s book, beginning today." Visitors are welcome to explore the life of Laura Engalls and her family at a weekend-long celebration. Activities will include jumping in a haystack, churn butter, making and tasting ice cream, playing historic games, plus many of the tasks involved in harvesting grain and more. There will also be an after-hours Farmhand Buffet plus a Barn Dance on Saturday.. Adults $16 : children (5-17) $9 ( children under 5 are free) ; students and senior citizens ( 65 and older ) $14; family ( two adults and two or more dependent children 5-17 ) $43 Fees include an all-day tram transportation pass. Gate opens @ 10 a.m. Closes @ 5 p.m.
