In this house, the First Free Will Baptist Church in Wisconsin was organized on July 11, 1840, and, before 1843, the first school in this area was opened. Reverend Rufus Cheney directed the founding of both the church and the school, and both met here until 1945. Thomas Faulkner, his son-in-law, was elected county surveyor in 1857, and Milton Cooper was a noted orchardist.
