The Old Hotel Market at one time actually was a hotel. The two story brick building was built by Joesph Baltes is 1897 and was named the  Home Hotel and BarRoom.  The Bar Room was located on ground floor along with living quarters for the owners. Main floor has what was the  bar room and six additional rooms. Up the double wide staircase were nine hotel rooms which still have the the original room numbers  on the  doors.

Currently we have nine rooms open to the public including the Tinkers Stôr.  Each room has its own theme which we are constantly changing.

In  summer months we open up the back yard to sell garden items and decor.  The building is listed on the National Registry of Historic

Places. Take a drive to experience some local history and great shopping. It is worth a trip just to see the original metal ceiling.

The building is listed on the:
