Waukesha County Historical Society Description

The Intergenerational Heritage Fair is a fun & engaging learning opportunity for 3rd-5th grade students.  Students will explore a unique learning environment that matches hands-on learning with one-on-one instruction. Our goal is to foster knowledge sharing and learning across generations, while reinforcing classroom content and learning standards.

This program is an in-person experience. We always believe this to be the BEST way to learn about history, by immersing yourself in it! The Heritage Fair is a 2-hour field trip experience divided into two 1-hour segments: Exhibit Tables and Presentations.

At the Exhibit Tables, students will be able to explore at their leisure a multitude of various activities and crafts from Woodworking to Rug Making to Aviation and more!

During the Presentations, students will get a more in-depth look at a single idea, historic topic, or theme. Previous break-out sessions may include Victorian Etiquette, Folk Music and Instruments, Bagpipes, and more!

Program Fee: $5 per student, with 1 free chaperone for every 10 students attending.

Spring 2025: The Intergenerational Heritage Fair: Field Trip Experience will be held – April 28th and April 29th at the Waukesha County Historical Society and Museum. Reach out to our Program & Education Coordinator to sign up!
