Open seasonally until the late 1970's, the building then reverted to ownership by the railroad. Today the historic building houses the Apple Shed - a restaurant, bakery and gift emporium. It is owned and operated by Shirley Fuller, her son Mike Fuller who also manages the business, and George and Anne Marie Novinger, niece of the Jacobsen brothers. It was purchased in 1995 and restored and improved over the next year, opening in August of 1996. Local apples are sold in season and bring many visitors to the Apple Shed.
Shoppers also like the unusual gifts, art works and hand crafts available.
The fine and carefully selected adult and children's book collection is very popular. Specialty foods, candies, gifts, and clothing enhance the shopping selections. Local musicians, artists, and authors are featured as well as dinner theatre, promoting art and culture in the community. In addition to full restaurant service, banquets, parties, meetings, dances and receptions are held from time to time. There is a close view of passing trains from the deck and windows.
