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.
