About this property
The Mazomanie Downtown Historic District is the old downtown of Mazomanie, Wisconsin, with surviving structures built as early as 1857. It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The first settlers in the area around Mazomanie arrived in 1844 - English immigrants sent by British Temperance Emigration Society, a collective which selected members by drawing lots to be set up with 80-acre farms in Dane County. By 1849 600 of these lucky ones had arrived. They were producing a little surplus wheat, but with no local market they were not prospering, and the emigration society stopped funding more arrivals.
