Travel together through time and experience the worlds and wonders of Wisconsin’s past.
UWRA is partnering with the Verona Senior Center to travel to Old World Wisconsin to experience the world of Wisconsin’s early immigrants. Join us and step into the daily lives of the people who called this world home. Old World Wisconsin is a one-of-a-kind-place where the modern world fades away to reveal over a century of history. The site includes 60 authentically restored historic homes, farms, stores, and workshops. The most recent addition is The Brewhouse. Brewing experience presented by the Cleary-Kumm Family taps into the state’s brewing past.
Registration includes bus transportation, driver tip, admission fees, and lunch. Participants will receive a token that will be redeemable for one Old World experience. Experiences include making a iron hook at the blacksmith shop or a leather keychain at the shoe shop.

This is self-drive day trip on Tuesday, September 26 2023
(Rain Date: Thursday, September 28, 2023)
We know people have greatly valued our Four Lakes (DeJope) area for centuries, because they built roughly 1,200 effigy (animal/spirit-shaped) and other mounds on the high grounds overlooking the lakes starting about 800 BC. While the vast majority was destroyed through development, our guide will lead us on a two-mile walk where you will see remaining conical, linear, and effigy mounds. You will also learn the fascinating background of the indigenous people who lived, traded, hunted and fished the shores of Lake Mendota going back 12,000 years. By the end, you will know what to look for in finding the indigenous earthworks that we so often overlook in our midst. (Photo by Teri Venker)
Teri Venker is a volunteer docent and researcher for the Madison Trust for Historic Preservation. She also leads tours of Indian Mounds around the Madison area, which partly stems from her lifelong interest in Native American history and culture.
