Peterstown House
Share
Constructed from early 1800s to 1830, Peterstown House was built as a stagecoach stop and today it stands as a testament of time and as a tribute to the rich and vibrant history of Waterloo. The building transformed from a stagecoach stop to an apartment building by the 1880s. By 1973, the house was scheduled for demolition but was spared when Alfred Mueller and other citizens of Waterloo formed

We have a lot of exciting projects in the works for this year! Work has begun on the preservation of our 1850s log cabin, known as the Frederick Schatte Cabin. This cabin was originally located just outside of Maeystown and moved to this site in 1975. We are framing the outside walls for siding to prevent the wood from deteriorating. The interior walls will remain exposed. Once this work is complete, visitors will once again be able to go inside this cabin!
Also, we are nearing closer to the roof replacement on our main building, back porch and summer kitchen! More to come on that construction project!
