Maxon-Wright House

Built in 1847 by Densmore W. Maxon, a Yankee surveyor and member of the first Wisconsin State Legislature, this Greek Revival style house was part of his work in the area, which included constructing a dam and sawmill and platting Cedar Creek. Its east wing housed the first village post office. The house is certified as architecturally significant by the Historic American Buildings Survey and was restored, modernized, and furnished in 1947 by the William H. B. Wrights.
