Home for the Holidays

Step into a Victorian winter celebration at Old World Wisconsin, where the 19th-century Crossroads Village comes alive with seasonal charm. Browse through historic shops and homes decorated with festive greenery as costumed interpreters share the holiday traditions that immigrant families brought to Wisconsin. It's a chance to experience how people celebrated the season generations ago, offering a quieter, more intimate holiday atmosphere than typical December outings. The event runs select Saturdays and Sundays throughout December from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., giving families flexibility to visit. This is a great outing for anyone seeking a nostalgic holiday experience or wanting to learn about Wisconsin's cultural heritage in a hands-on way. The event is sponsored by the Old World Foundation.
