Hawks Inn Historical Society, Delafield

This Greek Revival Inn, built by Nelson P. Hawks, has been described as an "unsurpassed example of an early stagecoach stop." It was the center of social and political life in the frontier village of Delafield, Wisconsin. Built two years before Wisconsin became a state, Hawks Inn welcomed farmers in search of a homestead, trappers, traders, territorial politicians, and miners in search of a strike in the lead mines of western Wisconsin.

Renovated and refurbished as a historic site, Hawks Inn is a Wisconsin Landmark on the National Register of Historic Sites and open for public tours. Modern visitors will find it easy to imagine themselves as pioneer travelers when they step across the threshold of Delafield's historic Hawks Inn.

The Hawks Inn Historical Museum and Visitors Center are located at 426 Wells Street in Delafield, WI. Mailing Address is: Hawks Inn Historical Society P.O. Box 180104 Delafield, WI 53018
