Black Point Estate and Gardens

Call Directions Website

Black Point Estate and Gardens Step into Gilded Age elegance at the 1888 Summer home of Chicago b**r baron, Conrad Seipp.

Guests enjoy a narrated boat ride to the property via the Lake Geneva Cruise Line, a guided tour of the mansion, & time to relax and sip Seipp b**r on the veranda. Black Point Estate evokes the sense of a time and place when wealthy urban families escaped to Wisconsin to spend lazy summer days entertaining guests on wrap-around verandas or sailing on Geneva Lake. Today's guests enjoy a narrated boat tour of the scenic shoreline on their way to and from this enchanted lakeside estate.

We'd like to thank our team for taking such good care of our group tours this year.

Arriving as a group by motor coach, van or trolley is one of two ways guests can visit the estate. The other way, of course, is via a cruise with the Lake Geneva Cruise Line.

Both options can been booked through the cruise line.

Movie Mondays with the Lake Geneva Public Library are back starting on November 2, 2026 from 2-4PM

In this winter film series we will enjoy critically acclaimed films from the 1900s through the 2020s. Each film session will include an introduction by Dave Desimone of the Wisconsin Historical Societyy. Desimone will lead a group discussion following each film.

Up first is Night of The Living Dead (1968, 1hr 35min, English, Kanopy)

A disparate group of individuals takes refuge in an abandoned house when corpses begin to leave the graveyard in search of fresh human bodies to devour. The pragmatic Ben (Duane Jones) does his best to control the situation, but when the reanimated bodies surround the house, the other survivors begin to panic.

As any semblance of order within the group begins to dissipate, the zombies start to find ways inside -- and one by one, the living humans become the prey of the deceased ones in horror legend George A. Romeros' first film.

The series will contiue on the frist Monday of each month through April. As awlays, these programs are free and open to all.

Uh oh. A guest accidentally stepped on a bamboo bedspread holder.

Accidents happen and luckily this was a clean break.

Jordan, our lead housekeeper repaired the piece with good old fashioned Elmer's Wood Glue.

Thank you Jordan!

Congratulations to the Lake Geneva Public Library, Chris Brookes, Ken Etten and everyone who worked to ensure our amazing library will be protected from demolition in perpetuity.

Historic preservation is always a grass roots effort and we applaud the City of Lake Geneva for protecting this cultural asset.

A little late season landscaping. We are screening our volunteer parking area.

This project was paid for with funds donated by the William O. Petersen Endowment.

Bill Petersen is still caring for the estate 14 years after he passed.

We are very grateful for his wisdom and generosity.
