Black Point Estate and Gardens, located on the picturesque shores of Geneva Lake, offers visitors a captivating glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Gilded Age. Built in 1888 by Chicago beer baron Conrad Seipp, this stunning Queen Anne-style mansion stands as one of the finest examples of Victorian architecture in the Midwest. Visitors arrive at the estate via a scenic boat tour, just as the Seipp family did over a century ago, adding to the authentic historical experience.
The estate features 20 meticulously preserved rooms spread across its first two floors, showcasing an impressive collection of original Victorian furniture and decor spanning from the late 19th century to the new millennium. Outside, guests can explore the home’s lush gardens and wrap-around veranda, which boasts breathtaking views of Geneva Lake. Black Point Estate and Gardens is not only on the National Register of Historic Places, but also a time capsule of Wisconsin history, providing an amazing opportunity to step back in time and experience the elegance of a bygone era.
