John (Johann) Hauck (1828–1896) was a German immigrant who established a prosperous Cincinnati brewery.[2] The museum was established to promote an understanding of daily life and customs in late 19th-century urban Cincinnati through the preservation and interpretation of the Hauck House.

The residence had operated as a historic house museum but is no longer opened to the public. It is available for rental for events.
