Hazelwood, 1008 South Monroe Avenue, sits in the heart of the Astor neighborhood. It was the home of Morgan L. and Elizabeth Martin. Morgan distinguished himself as a business and political leader whose career spanned Wisconsin's important transition from territorial status to statehood, nearly 150 years ago. Elizabeth left us with valuable diaries that illuminate the life of early Wisconsin pioneers. The home, which sits on its original site overlooking the Fox River, is a beautiful example of Greek Revival architecture. Hazelwood also houses the offices of the Brown County Historical Society.
Morgan L. Martin built Hazelwood in 1837 for his bride, Elizabeth Smith. Hazelwood continued to be a haven where the family enjoyed its moments together.
We invite you to visit us often for tours and special events.
