How far are you from Maiden Rock Wisconsin?

History: The current Maiden Rock Inn occupies the former Maiden Rock School. It is the third school building to have been built on the same site. The Village of Maiden Rock was incorporated in 1848 and a wooden school was built shortly thereafter. It was replaced with a stone school in 1880. That building came down and its stone was repurposed for the foundation of the current, much larger, schoolhouse. From 1938-1941 as a WPA project, the gym and the classroom space above it were added. The miracle of indoor plumbing also came to the school that year in 1906. The school offered 1st through 12th grade until the last graduating class of 1959. Thereafter, it was incorporated into the Ellsworth school system but continued to offer 1st through 8th grade, later reduced to 1st through 6th. The last classes were held in 1980, after which the Ellsworth school system returned the building to the Village of Maiden Rock. The village used it for a cooperative of art studios, the Pierce County Wellness Baby Clinic, and rentals to various businesses. Maintenance issues caught up with the building, especially leaky roofs, and the city fathers decided to take closed bids and sell the building to someone who might save the building from the wrecking ball. We, Gary and Jennifer Peterson discovered that the building was available in a two-liner ad in the Industrial-Commercial Real Estate for Sale column in a Twin Cities Sunday paper. Being the highest bidder at the closed bid auction in February, 1995, we took possession in March of that year. The building offered solid structure, good windows, hardwood floors and 12 foot ceilings. All it needed was new roofs, new plumbing, and new wiring, insulation, new windows and a lot of embellishment, not to mention heating and cooling, and a whole lot of vision, love & determination. Special thanks to Wayne Larson, Kevin O Keefe, John May, and Anne Ramseth. They were the most help in bringing the building to a new level of decorum and comfort. Come see for yourself!

Innkeepers: Gary and Jennifer Peterson are highly creative and committed individuals that took on the project of creating new spaces and the renovation of a very tired and worn out 1906 masonry schoolhouse. Together they have turned this 16,000 sq. ft. facility into a unique and splendid Bed & Breakfast/Event Center. Gary has been a master Stairbuilder for 35 plus years and has had a lifetime of working with wood. His work in this building gives you the sense that it has always been here. He is responsible for milling miles of millwork as well as overseeing the total installation of this incredible mathematical puzzle all made from scratch using wood from auctions, salvage yards and cutoffs for a huge portion of the project. Likewise, Jennifer’s part of designing the spaces that Gary built, and then following through with the finishing techniques and decor, has been a very challenging and rewarding art project. Together they have developed their home to share with the world; they have made room for people.
