The Benjamin Boorman House is a historic 19th century residence located in Mauston, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
History
The house was built for English immigrant Benjamin Boorman, and his first wife Elizabeth Boorman. After her death in 1874, Benjamin Boorman remarried the following year on July 19, 1875, marrying Margaret A. Hall. Two children were born: George dying in infancy; and Rob Roy. Margaret was a sister of Benjamin's brother Clarence Boorman's wife.
After Benjamin Boorman's death, the house was owned by Jeff T. Heath, Tom Powers, John Tremain, and Francis Gardner.
The Juneau County Historical Society was formed at the house in 1963. In 1987, the society purchased the house from Edward W. Pierce and transformed it into a historic house museum.
