Wisconsin Family's 179-Year Farm Cleared for 400-Home Housing Development
A Wisconsin family that had farmed the same land in West Bend since 1847 saw its historic property demolished on September 18, 2026. Bulldozers tore down the old barn at the corner of Paradise Drive and River Road to make way for a new residential project. George Muth, the fifth generation of his family to work the fields, witnessed the end of nearly 180 years of continuous farming on the site. The development is expected to bring approximately 400 multifamily residences to the area. The project marks a significant transformation of what was once a rural stretch of Washington County.
