Peter Stuhr House

Peter Stuhr, one of the founding pioneers of Hall County, joined 2 of the original settler cabins together for his family home located on the eastern edge of what is today Grand Island. The Hall County Historical Society had an opportunity to save the original home from demolition. The home was moved to the grounds of Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer and restored.
