Details
The Decker Hotel in Maquoketa was founded by James Decker in 1875. The historic property features much woodwork and original furniture from Maquoketan artisans as the town is mostly known for its wood-based industry. The hotel became a popular gathering place and local landmark, making its way to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The location has seen its fair share of celebrities and politicians, including musicians like Norah Jones and well-known names from the past such as and John Deere and Ulysses S. Grant. The hotel has had reports of paranormal activity, including hearing or seeing unexplained sounds and sights, but apparently the Paranormal of Wisconsin group investigated the place, and the results came up inconclusive. Check out The Decker Hotel for yourself and let us know if you think it’s really haunted or not!
