Plough Inn
Image
Exterior view of the Plough Inn, located at 3402 Monroe Street. Built in 1853 and added onto in 1858. The home was originally built for German immigrants Frederick and Amelia Puanack, and then became a roadhouse established by John and Isabella Whare. The roadhouse served as a house for people travelling to different parts of southwestern Wisconsin. The Plough Inn was a favorite place for soldiers living at Camp Randall during the Civil War and continued to be used as a tavern into the 20th century.
