Wisconsin is incredibly agricultural, and the Henry Vilas Zoo wanted to include a little bit of that into the zoo! This soon-to-be barn will be in the Childrens Zoo with animals such as sheep, goats, alpaca, and more!
On July 30th, 2010, construction began and Kathleen Falk, the county executive was there, along with Mayor Dave Cieslewicz to share a few words. It was a big event, and thanks to the Rennebohm Foundation and their donation, it wouldn't have happened.
Construction is expected to be completed by winter and the barn is slated to open to visitors in early 2011.
I can't wait for the barn to open up! I know it's going to be really great! Can't wait to see you there in 2011!
Thanks!
