Rock Ledge
| Text on reverse reads: "'Rock Ledge' Wisconsin's most picturesque gift shop located on the historical site at the Falls of the Sheboygan River, Sheboygan Falls." The gift shop has a large stone fireplace and hearth, flanked by bookcases, and display cases of land and water birds on each side. Two arrangements of pine boughs with candles decorate the mantle. Many bookcases and tables are full of books for sale. The floor is wood. The dream of Helen Stroub, it was built on four different levels that followed the contours of the rock. Rock Ledge was dedicated on October 25, 1952. Originally the site of the old Rochester Co. sawmill and the Brickner Woolen Mills warehouse, it was empty for more than 50 years. ReMax/Universal Realty Company purchased it in 2021. |
