Steichen Family Home (Old Falls Village), Menomonee Falls

Edward Steichen — born in Bivange, Luxembourg in 1879 and one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century — bought this Menomonee Falls house in 1904 for his parents and his sister Lilian. The family owned it until 1915, and it was here in 1908 that the poet Carl Sandburg married Lilian after a courtship conducted largely by letter.

Saved from demolition, the house was moved to the Old Falls Village museum grounds in 2002, where it is preserved as an exhibit.
