About the Event
OWW kicks off its 2024 season with Wild, Wooly and Windy! Explore the wild side of OWW’s Kettle Moraine landscape with a family stroll on one of our nature trails or a guided walk in search of migrating birds and early spring wildflowers. Meet our newborn lambs, watch as our sheep receive their annual haircuts, and help prepare sheep’s wool to be spun into yarn. See skies come to life with vibrant dancing kites. Lend a hand with planting gardens and other seasonal tasks on our farmsteads—spring is here, and with it comes endless opportunities to enjoy the flora, fauna, flowers and fun of a vibrant green season!

Know Before You Go & Accessibility
Big things are coming—and history is being made—in 2024! Construction will take place at the main entrance throughout the season to create an even better, more comprehensive Old World Wisconsin guest experience. This will not impact visitor hours or detract from current events, locations and activities.
The Ramsey Barn Museum store is open daily and remains open 30 minutes after grounds close.
Guests may exit and return throughout the day.
Restrooms and water fountains are available on site.
The grounds will remain open rain or shine.
Guests are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes and to dress for the weather.
No pets are allowed. Service animals are permitted.
Because of the historic nature of the buildings, not all areas are ADA accessible. Old World Wisconsin is committed to reviewing accessibility needs and improving access for all.
