Many of the original homes built in the mid 1800's have been lovingly restored to their original appearance and provide a historic balance to the newer housing available throughout the area. One of the significant historic homes is known as "The Webster House" former home to composer Joseph Philbrick Webster who wrote more than 1000 songs before his death in 1875. The City's name was given by Colonel Samuel Phoenix, who declared "Elk Horn" when he spotted a rack of elk antlers caught in a tree.

Elkhorn is also famous for music, with both the Getzen Company and Frank Holton & Company having built factories to produce the finest band instruments that are in use around the world. The music continues today in the city's historic bandshell where the Holton-Elkhorn Band performs concerts on summer evenings.
