Black Point Estate Field Trips

Lake Geneva, WI

Black Point Field Trip

Black Point Estate was built for Chicago Beer Baron Conrad Seipp in 1888 as a retreat, and in that spirit the home remains a place to relax, refresh, and explore. Considered one of the finest examples of period architecture and furniture in the Midwest, and one of the oldest homes in Lake Geneva. Black Point is a great stop for your next field trip!  

Students will learn about historic preservation, entrepreneurship, lake living in the 19th and 20th century and the importance of community service and philanthropy. Guided tours include access to the first and second floor of the house and a portion of the gardens. Experience the worlds and wonders of Wisconsin’s past. Book your field trip today!
