This room was another guest bedroom.  It now houses the museum’s Country Store, displaying many items that would have been found in a typical general store during the early part of the 20th century.

            Between the Country Store and the Toy Room is a small section of hallway that had doors at each end, allowing the maid’s quarters to be closed off from the guest bedroom.  The section of hallway now contains a small exhibit regarding the murder in 1875 of Albert “Baron” Molitor.  Including in the exhibit is a revolver that was reportedly carried by one of the men who murdered Molitor. 

            On the shelf above the Molitor exhibit are several books containing eulogies delivered in the U.S. Congress upon the death in 1947 of Congressman Frederick Van Ness Bradley, son of Carl D. Bradley.  Congressman Bradley moved to Rogers City with his parents in 1910.  After graduating from Cornell University in 1921 he went to work in the purchasing department at Calcite.  He was elected to Congress as a Republican in 1938, and served as our Congressman until his death.  He is buried in Memorial Park Cemetery here in Rogers City.

            One of his campaign posters is on the wall in the Country Store, just above the old wall-mounted telephone.
