About Fuchs House

In the late 1930s, Rudolph Fuchs built a five bedroom concrete and native stone house for his family, and also built the present wheel house to produce electricity for his needs. Power was obtained by building a dam in a semi-circle below a large spring forming a small pond. The water was to pour through a chute on the wheel to produce electricity; however, electricity arrived to the site before the wheel ever needed to do its job. The area had an undershot wheel providing power to a grist mill in the late 19th century.

Miller Family Markham Springs Trip 2021 was amazing at The Fuchs House! We come here annually and absolutely love it. Such a beautiful and historic place and we appreciate so much the caretakers and volunteers who keep this place up and running. Will continue to come back year after year as long as we can. Our kids and grandkids love everything about this place. Plenty of room for everyone and lots of beautiful nature to explore. We will be back October 2022!!

My family and I stayed here for a week and it was amazing to be somewhere so wonderful. The house was old but fixed up nicely and the view from the front porch is simply breathtaking. The Korner Kwik in Williamsville has an amazing breakfast if you like biscuits and gravy or bacon egg and cheese biscuits. There burgers are on the small side but delicious. The prices for breakfast and lunch there are extremely cheap for such good food.

The hike that starts up the bluff behind the house is really nice.

It was a beautiful and secluded getaway. The house is a gem and while it is in a state of constant improvement, the people whom have contributed their time in skill to preserve this great place are to be commended. It is not a 5 star hotel but if you love old architecture and can appreciate a giant effort at preservation this is a wonderful place. Ranger Sherman and the caretakers were very friendly and helpful. We loved every minute.
