Historic Indian Agency House
|
Another historic property definitely worth visiting when you are in the Portage area is the Historic Indian Agency House at 1490 Agency House Road in Portage, Wisconsin. This Federal-style house is one of the oldest in Wisconsin and is outfitted with many period furnishing and artifacts. The house was built by the US government for John Kinzie, Indian Agent to the Ho-Chunk Nation (Winnebago), in 1832.
The Historic Indian Agency House was restored by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in 1932. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. We are fortunate to be able to partner with the Historic Indian Agency House; their staff coordinates group tours of FWSQ. Read more about the Historic Indian Agency House at their website here. They, too, offer a variety of special events throughout the summer and fall months for you to enjoy. |
