Schug Hardware Store

Pioneers made their own tools, but later stores like this one began stocking axes, saws, planes, hammers, and nails. Eventually the business also sold household items such as washing machines, sweepers, and lamps, along with sleds and red wagons for children. Schug Hardware also had a tin shop with a huge break for bending large sheets of tin to make gutters and downspouts. Dr. Clayton Schug, whose father began the business in Bellevue in 1913, donated the present building and contents.
