From 1976 thru 1991, Cal and Katey Halberg used the house and buildings for their antique business known as the “Pack Rats”.

Vannetten & Bronsick
In 2002, Jean Vannetten and Marjorie Bronsick requested a continuance to operate the residence and existing antique store as “The Shoppe on the Hill”.

As the house has now been sold, it will be interesting to see what new history will be added.
