| Additional Information: | .The Wehmhoff Farmstead, located at 3314 State Highway 83 in the Town of Wheatland, was established by the Wehmhoff family, German immigrants, by 1861. By 1903, ownership of the farm passed to Henry Wehmhoff, who had increased the scale of the farm to 160 acres and constructed a number of extant farm buildings. In 1915, Wehmhoff constructed a large concrete Dutch Colonial Revival style house on the property. Henry Wehmhoff studied agriculture at the University of Wisconsin, Madison before taking over operating the farm, which raised and bred shorthorn cattle, draft horses, and sheep. Henry Wehmhoff owned the property until at least 1924. |
