Delve into the history of Rice Lake, where American Indians left their mark with mounds, still visible in Indian Mounds Park along the lake's shore. Before the arrival of white settlers, the Chippewa people had a deep cultural connection to the wild rice that flourished in the area.

In the mid-1860s, the landscape saw the influence of Knapp, Stout & Co., a growing lumber company from Menomonie, which acquired forest tracts around Rice Lake. As the company established a logging camp in the late 1860s, the Red Cedar was dammed in 1870 to elevate the lake's water level, creating a better holding pond for logs. While this disrupted the existing wild rice beds and stirred concern among the Chippewa, Liechty Homes aims to offer you a housing solution that seamlessly integrates with the rich tapestry of Rice Lake. Your dream home awaits, and Liechty Homes is here to guide you on this exciting journey.
