Discover the Historic Predecessor to Memorial Day
Before Memorial Day, there was Decoration Day—a historic precursor in which participants honored soldiers who died in the Civil War by visiting cemeteries and bringing flowers to the fallen. Visit Old World Wisconsin and learn the story behind this unique predecessor to our modern day of observance at Pleasant Ridge, a replica of one of the earliest refuges for formerly enslaved people and an early example of integrated communities in America.
What You’ll Experience
An educational experience in a replica of Pleasant Ridge, an early integrated community with history dating back to 1850

About the Location
Old World Wisconsin includes 60 authentically restored historic homes, farms, stores and workshops—and a fully operational 1930s tavern. 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.
