History

Morgan Lewis Martin had the house built for himself and his new wife, Elizabeth, in what was then known as Fort Howard in 1837. A cousin of noted politician James Duane Doty, Martin had previously been a territorial legislator of the Michigan Territory. In the years soon after his marriage, Martin became a member of the legislature of the Wisconsin Territory and would serve as a Congressional Delegate to the United States House of Representatives representing the territory.

Martin was a key player in the drafting of the Constitution of Wisconsin and Wisconsin was admitted as a state in 1848. Much of Martin's work on the document was done at Hazelwood. [2] He would eventually serve in the Wisconsin State Assembly, the Wisconsin State Senate and as a Brown County, Wisconsin judge.

Hazelwood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and to the State Register of Historic Places in 1989. [3] Also in 1989, Hazelwood was bought by the Brown County Historical Association, which would base its operations out of the house. It was also turned into a museum. [4]
