Old Falls Revolutionary War Days at Old Falls Village Park

 

Experience Revolutionary War History at our 4th Annual Old Falls Revolutionary War Days event on May 3-4, 2025 at Old Falls Village Park in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin – Enjoy the fourth annual Old Falls Revolutionary War Days and Battles this year at Old Falls Village Park, (www.OldFallsVillagePark.com) on Saturday and Sunday May 3rd and 4th located at the Southwest corner of Pilgrim Road and County Line Rd Q.

Come to Old Falls Village Park in Menomonee Falls just north of HWY 41 on Pilgrim Road on Saturday May 3rd from 10 AM-5 PM and Sunday May 4th from 10 AM-4 PM.

Revolutionary soldiers recreate life in early America with battles, weapon demonstrations and more.  Visit the army encampments and talk to the soldiers about life in early America.  Our event season kicks off with the Revolutionary War Encampment with great food, beer garden, entertainment, presentations, music, sutlers row, artillery demonstrations, twice daily battle recreations and more.

 

This year will be a special recognition of the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord.  Do you know what the meaning of the two lanterns is in the windows?  During Paul Revere’s ride, he was notified that the British were coming by sea signaled by two lanterns.  If they were advancing by land, there would have only been 1 lantern as a signal.  You can see two candles lite in the windows of the Caretakers Residence next to the Emma Davidson’s Summer home of the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Company at Old Falls Village Park.

Get ready to kick off the summer season in style as the Old Falls Biergarten opens its doors once again for a summer of fun, music, and delicious food. The highly anticipated season opening will take place on Friday, May 2nd, starting at 4:00 PM, featuring live entertainment by the acclaimed J.T. & Friends band starting at 6 PM.

Located on the edge of Menomonee Falls and Germantown WI, the Old Falls Biergarten offers a unique and vibrant atmosphere where locals and visitors alike can come together to enjoy great music, fantastic food, and a wide selection of beverages. As tradition dictates, Fish Fry-Days will make a triumphant return this season, starting with the grand opening on May 2nd!

On Saturday, May 3rd, the festivities continue with the Biergarten opening its gates at 10:00 AM and staying open until 10:00 PM. Visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the sounds of Ireland as the Paddygrass Band takes the stage on Saturday night, treating guests to an unforgettable performance filled with historical melodies.

“The Old Falls Biergarten is more than just a place to enjoy a drink or a meal. It’s a community gathering spot where friends and families come together to create lasting memories,” said Jeff Klug, President of Friends of Old Falls Village Park. “We’re thrilled to welcome everyone back for another exciting season of music, food, history and fun!”
