Built in 1868 by Cyrus Hart, a prominent businessman in Oconto, the Beyer Home was the first house to be built with brick in Oconto County. The Beyer family purchased the home in the 1880's and had it remodeled in the popular Queen Anne style, including the rare red stained glass that was used in the front door. In 1940, the Beyer Home was acquired by the Oconto Historical Society and renovated into a museum. The main house was refurbished with period antiques and the carriage barn houses antique and electric cars. The museum annex, built in 1957, features exhibits about the logging era, the Indian Copper Culture, and a re-creation of 1890's Main Street Oconto. Special membership programs and educational programs are offered through the Beyer Home in conjunction with the Historical Society. Open daily June 1 through Labor Day, Monday to Saturday 10am - 4pm, and Sunday, 12noon - 4pm.
