Martha Whipple's Music Store

Martha Whipple was one of the first businesswomen in the area when she built her music store in 1877.  In 1878, she enlarged the store and later moved to Sheboygan in 1885 after selling to Kehl Cigar Co.  The company employed 20 cigar makers and produced many brand names including Frog Cigars.  Equipment from the factory can still be found in the basement of Hy Ryders Rochester Saloon which occupies the two building site today.
