Hawks Inn

Hawks Inn, a Greek Revival structure built by Nelson P. Hawks, stands as a remarkable example of an early stagecoach stop and was a pivotal center of social and political life in the frontier village of Delafield, Wisconsin. This historic site, which opened its doors two years before Wisconsin achieved statehood, welcomed a diverse array of visitors, including farmers, trappers, traders, and politicians seeking opportunities in the burgeoning territory.

Renovated and preserved as a Wisconsin Landmark on the National Register of Historic Sites, Hawks Inn invites modern visitors to experience the ambiance of pioneer travel and explore its rich history through public tours and various cultural events. The facility also houses the Delafield History Center, which enhances its mission of education and community engagement through art exhibits and historical archives.
