Family - the roots of our business

Meet the Dickinson family! Virgil, Cynthia, Kenneth, Liz, and Stephanie (and their families) - each talented in music.

 

The Dickinson family members have performed in The Dells Barn over the past decades before relocating the Wisconsin Opry to their adjacent homestead farm.  Since 1979 they have entertained people from near and far on our stage proudly showcasing the past, present, and future of country music. Legends like Bill Monroe, Faron Young, Suzy Bogguss, Riders in the Sky, Kittie Well, and so many more have performed on our stage. During the restoration, we salvaged all of the signatures and well wishes to be housed at the Wisconsin Opry dinner barn. 

​

The Dells Barn will remain a platform that connects artists and fans to the music they love as well as continue to host weddings joining folks together. As family is the root of our business, we welcome guests to experience the historic barn and be overjoyed by it's story.

“The beauty of The Dells Barn (Music & Events) is breath-taking.  Immediately our eyes grew big and we knew it was our place for our ceremony." 

“Being able to have each side of the barn open to the outside was pure heaven. A light breeze flowed through and it made our day magical."

“The vintage ticket booth and super cool serving center at the entrance of the barn made our wedding unique.  They were also fantastic for our photos!"
