NEW BERLIN, Wis. — In the heart of New Berlin sits a living piece of Wisconsin history that many residents may not know about. Weston's Antique Apple Orchard , dating back to the 1930s, grows approximately 200 varieties of apples — ten times more than typical orchards.
It was Bill Weston's great-grandparents who started this unique agricultural treasure. The orchard grows apples that you cannot find in a grocery store or even an average orchard.
"Most of them are smaller, and they aren't as pretty as what you get in the grocery store," Weston said.
The orchard's significance extends beyond just growing fruit. It's now listed on the National Registry of Historic Landscapes, while the barn and house have earned spots on the National Registry of Historic Buildings.
