Old World Wisconsin one-year-later appreciation event was held June 11

Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, June 14th, 10:38 am

Old World Wisconsin hosted a one-year-later appreciation event on June 11, which marked the forward progress the historic site has made. On June 21, 2010 a tornado ripped through their site, knocked down about 3,000 trees and forced the closure of the site temporally,

"We were delighted by the response to this event,” Old World Wisconsin Director Dawn St. George said. “Our staff and volunteers were energized to make this a celebration of resilience and a successful season. It was a challenge to be closed for almost five weeks during the heart of our 2010 visitation season, which made this day all the sweeter."

Old World Wisconsin is the leader of outdoor museums that show 19th-century immigrant rural and farm life
