Sinnipee, Wisconsin

Sinnipee (also called Sinipee) is a former settlement in Grant County, Wisconsin, United States.

[1] The community was first settled prior to 1832 by Payton Vaughan of North Carolina and was founded by the Sinnipee Company in 1835.

A hotel called the Old Stone House opened in the community in 1839; both US president Zachary Taylor and Confederate president Jefferson Davis stayed at the hotel during its operation.

After a fire, the hotel was dismantled to build a dam on the Mississippi River.

[2] In 1934, the site of the community was flooded due to the construction of Lock and Dam No.
