Discovering Club Harbor's History

Club Harbor is a building with a long and interesting past. It was built way back in 1846. This makes it one of the older buildings in the area. It stands in Pipe, Wisconsin, a small community with a big connection to history.

A Stop on the Old Military Road

When Club Harbor first opened, it was a busy place. It served as a stagecoach stop. Imagine a time before cars and trains! People traveled by horse-drawn stagecoaches. These coaches needed places to stop. Travelers could rest, eat, and change horses. Club Harbor was one of these vital stops.

It was especially important because it was on a military road. This road connected two important forts: Fort Howard and Fort Winnebago. Soldiers, settlers, and traders used this road. Club Harbor offered them a safe and welcoming place to pause their long journeys.

Who Ran Club Harbor?

In 1856, a man named Jacob Fuhrman took over running Club Harbor. He helped keep this important stop going. For many years, it continued to serve people traveling through Wisconsin.

Becoming a Historic Landmark

Because of its unique history, Club Harbor has been officially recognized. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. This is a list of places across the United States that are important to history. Later, in 1989, it was also added to the State Register of Historic Places. This means it's recognized as a special part of Wisconsin's heritage.
