Have you ever walked past the Travellers Hotel and noticed the swastikas on the side of the building? Have you ever wondered what the history of the building is?
Check out this information that we got from family of the previous owner, Irwin Tollefson. It's super interesting. It is so incredible to learn about the historical buildings and see how far our town has developed!
