Dive into History and Nature's Beauty
Uncover the charm of Old Falls Village Park, situated on an expansive 18.8-acre canvas, set amidst a tranquil forested backdrop and adorned with a melodious babbling brook. Embark on a journey through time as you explore the historic buildings that stand testament to the park's rich past - from the rustic barn to the welcoming caretaker's residence.

Why These Events Matter
At Old Falls Village Park, history isn’t something you read about—it’s something you experience.
Each year, thousands of visitors step into the past through living-history events that bring real stories, real people, and real learning to life. From Revolutionary War encampments to World War II battle reenactments, from Renaissance Faire jousting to immersive seasonal experiences like Spooky Walk, our events offer something rare: connection.
Guests consistently tell us that these events:
Make history understandable and engaging for children
Create meaningful moments for families and veterans
Inspire curiosity, learning, and return visits
Strengthen community pride and shared heritage
Our park attracts first-time visitors from across Wisconsin and beyond, introducing new audiences to Menomonee Falls while supporting local tourism and small businesses. Just as important, many guests return year after year—bringing friends, volunteering, and becoming part of our growing community.
These events succeed because of dedicated volunteers, passionate reenactors, and strong community partnerships. Together, they transform Old Falls Village Park into more than a venue—it becomes a living classroom, a gathering place, and a bridge between generations.
When guests say “We’ll be back” or “My child finally understands history,” that’s why these events matter.
