[3] In 1842 Kemper established Nashotah House near Delafield, which became the Episcopal Church's western seminary.

His wife had died before he came west, but now he brought from the east to Wisconsin Territory his two sons, his daughter, and two unmarried sisters to live with him.

Today the west wing is a two-story stone building with a chimney at each end of the roof - suggesting Federal style.

The east wing is a two-story frame structure with Greek Revival stylings, and its parlor has French doors and a fireplace with a Gothic mantle.

[3] Kemper's house was his home base as he organized the early Episcopal church in what would become states ranging from Indiana to Minnesota to Kansas.
