About the Name

The Company name comes from the location of Settlement Hill Design offices. We are located in Rural Hudson Wisconsin in an area known as the German Settlement. Back in 1853 a group of Germans settled in this neighborhood. The Hobby Farm,  which is home to Settlement Hill Designs is one of the original homesteads of these settlers, located on a hill looking over this beautiful and historic neighborhood. The farmstead, Settlement Hill Farm, dates back to 1854. The Ganz's serve on the German Settlement Heritage Society Board, helping preserve this historic area. Yearly, they host a barn dance the first Saturday in October to help raise funds for preservation work in this area. The barn dance is open to the public. All are welcome to come!
