The William F. Jahn Farmstead is located in Mequon, Wisconsin, United States. The farmstead includes a farmhouse, two barns, a summer kitchen, and two outbuildings. While the farmstead is not longer used for agriculture, portions have been converted to facilitate bed and breakfast lodging.[2]
History
Jahn was a German immigrant, arriving with his family at Mequon from Saxony in 1844 at the age of 12. He became a surveyor, Superintendent of Schools for the city, a farmer, and a prominent local politician.[2][3] The farm was a successful diversified operation, by 1880 it had grown to 100 acres with dairy cows, pigs, and chickens, and grew wheat, corn, and oats.[2]
The farmstead is significant as a relatively intact and well-preserved example of a Greek Revival farmhouse in Mequon. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[2]
