History: The building "Olde Plow Shoppe" was built in 1900 and ran as a general store until 1969. The original owner was Charlie Ganschow and in the 1950's was taken over by his daughter and son-in-law, Ruth and Eddie Simonson. The back addition of the store was a cheese factory and started operating in about 1908 until the farmers started a co-op cheese factory across the road. The Dickman's bought the building in April of 1973. From 1969 until 1973 it was owned by a couple of other people who did some remodeling of the upstairs apartment. The upstairs has now become the owners' cottage near the lakes for fishing and family and friends' visits.
