This log house was built around 1851 by Norwegian pioneer Thomas Helle southeast of Valders. It was passed on to his sons, thus the originating name Tom’s son or Thompson. The building was donated by Michael Propson.

It was rebuilt by Hugo Vetting and Al Bartel in 1972. Sponsored by Armond and Ione Kueter.

Meeme Inn

Restoration Project Located on the old Green Bay Road, the Meeme House Inn began as a trading post handling dry goods, groceries, liquors, and tobaccos. Michael Herr built the original structure about 1855 as an inn, providing overnight board and lodging for weary travelers midway between Green Bay and Chicago.

The Meeme House was owned by the Herr family until 1906 when it was sold to Peter DeGrott. In 1909 he sold to Joe Schwartz who operated the establishment until his death in 1947. After Joe’s wife, Minnie, died in 1955 the property was passed onto their daughter Val who operated it until her death in 2012.

The next step will be to move the Inn, its original livery stable and historic poll house to Pinecrest Historical Village where the important steps towards restoration will begin.
