Home for the Holidays

Home for the Holidays brings Victorian-era winter traditions to life at Old World Wisconsin. During select December weekends, you and your family can wander through the charming Crossroads Village, where 19th-century buildings are adorned with festive greenery and holiday decorations. Step inside historic shops and homes to see how families celebrated the season generations ago, and discover the diverse cultural traditions that European immigrants brought with them to Wisconsin. This cozy, low-key celebration is perfect for families seeking a quieter holiday experience away from typical seasonal rush. The event runs Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., giving you a relaxed pace to explore. It's an especially nice choice if your kids enjoy history or you want to experience holiday customs from a different era. The event is sponsored by the Old World Foundation.
