The Wolf House Museum provides a unique setting in which to experience Riley County history. John Frank built this two-story limestone house in 1868 as a boarding house and it was advertised as the German Boarding House. In 1875, Dr. George Hazard Perry III and his wife Ellen purchased the home. The Perrys continued to operate a boarding house, and it remained in their family for 63 years until 1938. The John Hepler family briefly lived in the home until 1941 when it became the home of Max and Lucile Wolf. Mrs. Wolf gave the house to the Riley County Historical Society in 1982. Edna Williams served as the first Curator of the Wolf House Museum, from its opening in 1983 until her retirement in 2014.
