Weekend at Schaumbach's Tavern, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary
Item Number: 87
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
NEW ITEM! Never before offered, this is your chance to stay in the historical buiding at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary that many fondly refer to as "Schaumbach's".
Schaumbach's Tavern is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was once considered "Headquarters" for Hawk Mountain Sanctuary.
Though it's famous as the original home of Maurice and Irma Broun, the building dates back even further with it first listed on 1793 tax maps, and again in 1876 on a map of Albany Township. This map indicated the building as the residence of Matthias Schaumbacher, and “Schaumbach’s Tavern” it has been ever since. Schaumbach’s is steeped in local folklore, which holds that Matthias killed 11 men (with purported motive of robbery), although he never was formally accused or prosecuted for a crime.
Maurice and Irma Broun moved into the cottage on August 30, 1938, and the house served as their residence and also as the first headquarters of the fledgling Sanctuary.
