Do you want to meet one of Old World Wisconsin's animal ambassadors?
If so, make a donation to our Chair's Challenge and attend our Sunset Soiree on August 22 to meet one of the animals at OWW (exactly which animal(s) will be attending is yet to be determined).

If animals aren't your "thing." you can try on period clothing or make a keychain... heck, we'll even let you participate in all three hands-on activities just like the guests who visit this interactive historic site.

Make your donation today and we will see you at Sunset Soiree:
