Old World Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been supporting projects and programs at Old World Wisconsin since 1984. With the help of their dedicated supporters, they have contributed $9 million in gifts to preserve this cherished historic site, providing visitors with a meaningful and memorable experience. Their funding has been instrumental in various initiatives, including the heritage breed animal program, historic building preservation, school field trip subsidies, and the creation of marketing materials and special programs.
As a state historic site owned and operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society, Old World Wisconsin relies on private support to fund projects and items that are beyond its operating budget. Old World Foundation, also known as Friends of Old World, plays a vital role in ensuring the preservation and enhancement of this treasured site, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in Wisconsin's rich history and heritage.
