Fountain Lake Farm, 19th-century farm in Montello, United States
The 80-acre farm features natural meadows, fields, and a lake, situated on a knoll in northeastern Marquette County, Wisconsin.
Pioneer conservationist John Muir lived at Fountain Lake Farm from 1849 to 1856 and 1860 to 1862 after immigrating from Scotland.
The National Historic Landmark status reflects the farm's role in shaping John Muir's understanding of nature conservation and environmental protection.
Visitors can access the southern and western portions through trails around the lake and a parking area on County Road F.
The farm's original location contains no standing structures from Muir's time, except for several trees that date back to his residency.
