Fillmore (also Filmore) is an unincorporated community in the Town of Farmington, Washington County, Wisconsin, United States. [1] The community was settled in the early 1850s by a group of immigrants from Saxony.
The settlement was named after Millard Fillmore, who was president at the time. [2]
Fillmore is the location of the 1855 Saxonia House brewery, which was a gathering place for locals. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. [3]
In 1862, some of the Saxon immigrants organized the Farmington Turnverein, a German cultural association, and in 1868, they built the Fillmore Turner Hall, which still exists as an event space and banquet hall as of 2020. [4]
