The Miller-Davidson
House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, features an
unusual arched foundation and was built in 1858 for John and Elizabeth
Fehl. It was later owned by Jewell and Charles Miller, President
of a heating and ventilating contracting company in Milwaukee, and then
by Mrs. Emma Davidson, wife of Walter Davidson, partner in the Harley Davidson
Motorcycle Company. In 1966, it was converted into a museum by the
Menomonee Falls Historical Society and the Village of Menomonee Falls.
