Laura Ingalls Wilder Days - Old World Wisconsin

August 4-5, 2012.

Laura Ingalls Wilder Days: Bonnets, Britches, Tractors and Hitches

Live the life of famous author Laura Ingalls Wilder and see the power of many sized steam engines!

Come for a day the whole family will enjoy. In addition to activities straight from the pages of the Little House books, you can experience draft horse power, see a steam threshing machine, and the work done by turn-of-the-century gasoline engines such as grain grinding or corn shelling. Try your hand at making rope or watch our special guests, the SeatWeavers' Guild, as they share the nearly lost art and craft of chair caning and chair seat weaving.. Join the look-alike pageant, dressed up as Mary, Laura, Carrie, Grace, Almanzo, or naughty Willie and Nellie. You're welcome to help with the chores and games Laura and her family experienced!

Visit a 19th Century crossroads village and 10 ethnic farmsteads spread over 600 acres.

Experience immigrant life at the Midwest's premium outdoor museum of living history. Find out more at oldworldwisconsin.org.
