Drum's Store

Drum's Store, now occupied by Bill Petters Hardware is one of the oldest buildings still standing. The general merchandise store occupied the main floor. Drum Hall referred to the second floor which contained office space and a theatrical stage and seating.

The earliest reference to the original building is a warranty deed dated April 17, 1886, when a 1/4 interest in the building was sold by Robert and Matilda Drum to William S. King. In 1908 Robert Drum regained full ownership of the building and opened Drum's Store. In 1919 he started showing motion pictures in the theater on the second floor. Drum Hall was also used for other meetings, plays, dances and other community events.
