Settled in Stone: Luxembourgish Stone Houses and Settler Farm Life

The practice of stone architecture began in Europe and was brought to the United States when families began to emigrate in the mid to late 1800s. Given that many Luxembourgish families immigrated to the Midwest region, and Wisconsin in particular, many of the historic homes and barns are Luxembourg stone houses. This presentation will uncover the mystery of Luxembourg stone house architecture, investigate a few local stone houses, and learn what life was like for these early settlers.
