To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the village’s debut, the Wisconsin Historical Society will celebrate in “old world” style, with folk music, dancing, special programming, hands-on activities, and a giant cake.

10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 25 and 26 at Old World Wisconsin, Eagle. $19, $16 seniors, $10 children 5 to 17. wisconsinhistory.org.
