'Although close they chose me over Pepé Le Pew' &quot;It was close but they chose me as Smokey over Pepé Le Pew. Looking more like a fire starter than a fire preventer, Clooney finished third. But that Le Pew, he's an amazingly talented actor.&quot; 😉 — 'Although close they chose me over Pepé Le Pew' Credit: sniggie

The Old Indian Agency House is a historic site located in Portage, Wisconsin. It was built in 1832 as a trading post and residence for John Kinzie, the Indian Agent for the Ho-Chunk Nation. The house is one of the few surviving examples of Greek Revival architecture in the state.

The building is made of locally sourced limestone and features a symmetrical façade with two-story columns supporting a pedimented roof. The interior of the house has been restored to its original 19th-century appearance, with period furnishings and artifacts on display.

The Old Indian Agency House was a hub of activity during the early days of the American frontier. It served as a meeting place for Native American leaders and government officials, as well as a center for trade and commerce. The site also played an important role in the Black Hawk War of 1832, serving as a supply depot for American troops.

Today, the Old Indian Agency House is open to the public for tours and educational programs. Visitors can learn about the history of the Ho-Chunk Nation and the early settlement of the Wisconsin frontier. The site is also available for private events and weddings.
