In 1966 Folklore Village was created and directed by Jane Farwell in Dodgeville Wisconsin. Folklore Villages was first designed with the slogan “Connecting the generations with a world of traditions” and this is something that it still continues to do today! Folklore Village is a nationally recognized folk arts and culture center and has been a place for people of all ages to gather and learn traditional folkways. Folklore Village has been host to potlucks, social dances, classes, workshops, exhibits and historic preservation projects. Set within the rolling hills of southwestern Wisconsin, Folklore Village sits upon 94 beautiful acres which includes the Tall Grass Prairie Restoration Project, rustic bunkhouses, Plum Grove Church, Wakefield School, the 1848 Wisconsin home of Aslak Olsen Lie and Farwell Hall. Come to Dodgeville Wisconsin to experience the wonder of Folklore Village!
