In 1876, William Herzog came to Hermann as a traveling salesman for Poeschel and Scherer Winery. He was so successful that he was later brought into the company and, along with his business partner George Starck, purchased the winery, renaming it Stone Hill Winery. William Herzog built the Herzog Mansion in 1886.
