Welcome to Old World Wisconsin Foundation!
OWWF is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the projects and programs of Old World Wisconsin, a Historic Site owned and operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society. Founded in 1984, OWWF remains the local, independent option for funding the museum. OWWF is a private 501(c)(3) charity, not affiliated with the State of Wisconsin.

Thomas General Store, Caldwell Hall, and the Pleasant Ridge exhibits
Museum trams and groomed hiking trails
Animals like horses and oxen, along with feed, care, and behind-the-scenes facilities
Period clothing for the staff, from coats and hats to historical underwear
New programming: special events, day camps, and vintage base ball
Items for visitor comfort: padded banquet chairs, benches, maps, directional signs
And much, much more!
