Stonehaven, Wisconsin

Stonehaven is a former community in the Town of Belgium, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, United States.

In the 1890s, Milwaukee businessman David Whittaker founded the Northwestern Stone Company to begin quarrying dolomite in the Town of Belgium, along the Lake Michigan shore.

At the company's height, quarrying operations spanned 25 acres[1] and employed as many as 150 labors each day, using dynamite to break up the stone, load it into carts, and take it to a crusher.

The quarry closed and some of the houses in Stonehaven were moved three miles west to the Village of Belgium.

[2] In 1968, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources began buying properties at the Stonehaven site, and in 1992 the land became the 715-acre Harrington Beach State Park.
