The winery with deep roots.
In the summer of 1844, 4 years before Wisconsin became a state, a merchant named John Alexander came to Milton from Roxburgshire, Scotland with his wife and 3 sons.
He purchased a parcel of land from Nathan Storrs (Storr's lake), which he farmed. On it he built a wheat warehouse, which is made of lime mortar, a primitive form of cement, invented by Joseph Goodrich of Milton House fame. John and his neighbors took their wheat to Milwaukee, the closest port, to trade it for dry goods they needed. In 1914 the building became the Badger Garage and Machine Company, which housed a blacksmith shop and a repair shop for carriages and automobiles. Then in 1922, J.R.Davidson moved his Park Place Garage into the building,
where he sold Buicks and Overland automobiles.
