Thursday Doors: Old World Wisconsin

Norwegian farm door

My contribution to the Thursday Door Challenge comes from Old World Wisconsin, which I just discovered last weekend. It's a wonderful historical site where they've gathered 19th century buildings from across the state. I love learning about history by seeing places like this.

    Those are classic doors. I love the wooden screen door inside the weathered wooden door.

      The one with a screen is used as a kitchen so you'd want to keep the flies out. Thanks for hosting.

    Love these old doors, they remind me on where I lived before a year ago, where the vineyards of North California are. I miss these views in the suburbs! Emille (Jesh)

Last week a friend and I visited this historic site in Eagle, Wisconsin to see it's Christmas festivities. Old World Wisconsin is a place where they've gathered and restored buildings from the 19th Century.

They also brought kids up from the audience and they read "The Night Before Christmas." Ready for Christmas morning. This room is set up for a cobweb party. Each guest has a color of string and they have to unravel the string to get to their Christmas gift. I wonder what other kinds of parties they had back then. This l
