Service Station Building

Welcome to the Service Station Building in your online virtual tour of our facility. There are many more things to see than what is shown here, but if we showed them all to you, you wouldn't need to visit.

This service station operated privately from 1937 until the early 1970s.
With the financial assistance of numerous companies,
 and the back bending work of many individuals,
 we have restored and installed the original Esso sign and gas pumps. 
We routinely remove them during the winter months to help protect them from the elements.

Service Station 08/2001 Photo taken late
 summer 2001. Looks like it did in 1937, only with color, pavement, and a guardrail.

We have had numerous service station artifacts donated, and they are on display inside the service station.
