STORES
Late in the 1840's, Daniel Taylor built a store and traded in hides, game,
berries, and wild rice. Joseph Black built a store, known as Black's Trading
Post, where the Post Office now stands. Many Indians came there to trade
their wild rice, berries, game, and hides for merchandise. The store was
the main place to buy rifles, knives, and traps for hunting.
