The Yankee Hill Inn at 405 Collins Street in Plymouth, Wisconsin operates as a bed and breakfast across two adjacent historic homes. According to InnSite and the property's published history, the homes are the 1870 Gothic Italianate Henry Huson House (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) and the 1891 Queen Anne Gilbert Huson House. Both homes were built by the Huson brothers, prosperous Plymouth residents who developed the affluent Yankee Hill area of the city in the late 19th century.
Plymouth is located in Sheboygan County in the Kettle Moraine recreational region of eastern Wisconsin. The town's late-19th-century building stock reflects the period's regional prosperity from cheese-making and dairy industries; the Yankee Hill neighborhood is one of several pockets of high-craftsmanship Victorian-era homes in the area. The Yankee Hill Inn has operated as a bed and breakfast for guests visiting the Kettle Moraine region for many years.
Sources
Folklore at the Yankee Hill Inn is documented principally by Wisconsin Haunted Houses and similar regional aggregators. Reports include occasional cold spots in the upstairs guest rooms, doors that close on their own in unoccupied corridors, and the sense of a quiet presence in the older 1870 Henry Huson House. Reports are mild compared with better-known Wisconsin haunted-stay locations and are framed by guest reviewers as adding atmosphere to the stay rather than as a primary feature.
The inn's operators have not, in materials available online, made the folklore a central part of the marketing of the property. Visitors interested in the bed-and-breakfast experience and the historic architecture should treat any reported phenomena as background lore on a primarily comfort-focused Wisconsin overnight stay.
Stay overnight in either the 1870 Gothic Italianate Henry Huson House or the 1891 Queen Anne Gilbert Huson House, the two historic homes operated as the Yankee Hill Inn in the Kettle Moraine region of Wisconsin.
