This Landmark Home, listed on the National
Register of Historic Places, is also one of Wisconsin's most haunted sites.
Bring your friends for a fascinating visit, and perhaps you too will
experience something... unexpected.
Originally built as an Indian Fort and Trading
Post, the Octagon House of Fond du Lac was later used as a safe house for
runaway slaves during the Civil War. Architecturally unique, this oddity
has 12 rooms, and nine passageways! Docents report strange happenings
almost every week!
Open for summer tours and seasonal events, the
Octagon House also hosts dinner tours by candlelight. New this year are
our Full Moon Paranormal Dinners, a chance for like minded individuals to
gather over candlelight, enjoy a great meal on the house china, dress up in
civil war attire (additional fee) and step back into history for a while!
Groups will find many varied collections housed
within the walls, including:
|
porcelain dolls |
millinery (hats) |
early cookware |
|
vintage china |
heirloom clothing |
hat pins |
|
jewelry fancies |

seasonal collectibles |

antique tools |
