History

The factory was built by John J. Hollenstein, Sr. and his wife, Dominica, who moved to the United States from Switzerland.[4] In addition to being a factory, the building also served as the Hollenstein's home. Hollenstein ran the business until 1908, when he sold the factory to his son. Afterwards, the building was bought and sold by multiple owners and served various purposes.

It is now the Hollenstein Wagon & Carriage Factory Museum of the Mayville Historical Society.[5]
