Summary

• Hegeman Hotel was built about 1848. The following is taken from "The History of Racine and Kenosha Counties" of 1879: "The year 1848 saw the erection of a temperance hotel in the village of Wilmot, by Ephraim Wilcox, and in 1850, when thoroughly completed, a grand Fourth of July dinner was given, which to this day is well remembered by the participants."
