Old World Wisconsin

After the Fay's arrived from Baltimore, the fun began. Since our summer home is only 3 miles from Old World Wisconsin, we took a day to explore.

A tornado leveled over 2,500 trees in OWW in June. But they missed all the historic buildings and they were back in business. It is really a marvelous historic experience to visit working farms from over 150 years ago. The grandkids really enjoyed it.

Lots of hands on experiences for kids. Here is Ceci playing with a toy.





The old fashioned wooden tops were fun to learn how to operate.

I tried this puzzle and worked on it for a long time. Christopher solved it in about 5 minutes. And I thought I was good at this stuff.




Owen showed us how to play checkers.






Using a slate in the school room was fun. It was about the size of an iPad.
A slate marker is used to write on a slate tablet.




Guess what the girls wanted from the gift shop.

It was really fun to have the Miller's and Fay's for five days.
