Old Indian Agency House
Old Indian Agency House, Federal heritage site in Portage, Wisconsin, US.
The Old Indian Agency House features traditional architectural elements from the 1800s, including symmetrical windows and a central entrance with wooden columns.
Built in 1832, this house served as a governmental office and residence for Indian agents managing relations between federal authorities and Ho-Chunk Nation.
The house contains exhibits documenting the interactions between Native American communities and European settlers during the early nineteenth century expansion period.
Tours of the house run from May through October, with guides explaining the historical significance of each room and displaying period furniture.
The building remains in its original location near the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, where Native Americans maintained a portage trail.
