FOND DU LAC - For decades one of the city s historic landmarks has struggled with the wear and tear of time.
Galloway House and Village sits on 15 acres of what was once a farmstead on the south edge of Fond du Lac, owned by banker and lumberman Edwin H. Galloway. In the late 1860s he developed Melrose Farms there, which later became famous for its brown Swiss cattle.
He also transformed the farmhouse into an Italianate villa and a showcase of lavish Victorian elegance and beauty.
In 1954, Edwin P. Galloway, grandson of the former owner, donated the house and surrounding land to the Fond du Lac County Historical Society as an ideal spot for a museum.
