Step up to the historic 1880s stove in the Crossroads Village Four Mile House kitchen and tend the fire as you prepare bread and meals eaten by early Wisconsin settlers—including the Ingalls family. Use recipes, methods and utensils from the 19th century to craft a series of signature dishes the entire family is sure to enjoy. No cooking or baking experience is needed for this special occasion—an Old World Wisconsin ambassador will walk you through the process as you create your delicious eats.
Workshop attendance also includes free admission to Old World Wisconsin on the day of the class, as well as free prepared lunch. Guests will make food items for tasting to take home and will be provided with recipes used in the program to take home.

Old World Wisconsin includes 60 authentically restored historic homes, farms, stores and workshops. Each region features a distinct set of stories that invite you to experience the hopes and dreams of those who came before us. From the 1840s to the 1940s, you’ll find a true panorama of early Wisconsin history, covering more than 70 years and many cultures, including African American, Danish, Finnish, Hessian, Irish, Norwegian, Polish, Pomeranian and Yankee..
Old World Wisconsin first opened in 1976. Researchers traveled throughout Wisconsin in search of historic buildings crafted by the first generation of Wisconsin immigrants and migrants. From Lake Superior to the Illinois border, and from the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan, historians documented countless historic farmhouses, outbuildings and small-town structures. Once research was complete, the meticulous construction of Old World Wisconsin began. Piece by piece, workers carefully dismantled historic structures from around the state and reconstructed them in their new home.
