Plough Inn, 3402 Monroe Street. Built in 1853 and added onto in 1858. The home was originally built for German immigrants Frederick and Amelia Puanack, and then became a roadhouse established by John and Isabella Whare. The roadhouse served as a house for people travelling to different parts of southwestern Wisconsin. The Plough Inn was a favorite place for soldiers living at Camp Randall during the Civil War and continued to be used as a tavern into the 20th century.
