John Newton built this building in 1899 to replace his earlier wood frame
harness shop which was lost to fire in 1889. The building was restored
in the early 1990s when it became an antique shop that operated here until
2005. It's been the Country Bumpkin antiquea & gift shopsince 2014.

You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
