McCoy Farmhouse (Fitchburg, Wisconsin)

The McCoy Farmhouse is a historic house located at 2925 Syene Road in Fitchburg, Wisconsin.

[2][3] In 1846 Henry Yager bought a 160-acre tract of land which included the parcel the house is built on and began farming.

During the American Civil War, the farm experienced a boom when tobacco from what had become the Confederate States of America became unavailable.

[6] McCoy died in 1978 and left her house to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation with the intent that it be preserved.

The house's hip roof is surrounded by a bracketed cornice and topped by a small cupola.
