      Raspberry School was built in 1896 near Raspberry Bay on Lake Superior. It was in operation until 1914. This school was constructed by a community of Scandinavian immigrants committed to educating their youth. The school was moved to Old World Wisconsin, where it was painstakingly restored to its 1906 appearance. The programming, arrangement of furniture and the history of the school were provided by the school's last student, Elsie Moller, in a series of oral history interviews.

      Old World Wisconsin is set against the backdrop of the Kettle Moraine State Forest and 600 acres of pristine woodlands, prairie, and wetlands. It is a one-of-a kind-place where the modern world fades away to reveal over a century of stories. The site includes 60 authentically restored historic homes, farms, stores, and more! Along your journey from the 1840s to the 1910s, costumed ambassadors will invite you to get hands-on with history.

      From the Maker, Cat's Meow

      Celebrate and remember your favorite places by including our 3/4" thick wooden keepsakes in your home décor. A few favorite spots where Cat’s Meows like to reside are: perched on top of your window and door trim or wainscoting, tucked into your bookshelves, displayed on your work desk, or sprawled across your fireplace mantle. We make little wooden replicas of buildings (including your own home), landmarks, and scenes to help you remember the good times in your life. We design and print the front of our 3/4" thick wood with colorful details, and the back includes the story. Cat's Meow Village is so named because our black cat mascot, Casper, is hiding on every piece! Buy the Cat's Meows that have meaning for you, and display them around your home or office. We are a woman-owned, pure American company, and we are right around the corner in Wooster, Ohio!
