In the 1940s the fire department added two additional buildings. During this time, they built the current police station. They also built the current commercial buildings between the police station and church. The Garrett family has also built three estate. In modern times, they have built the truck stop, and three condos behind Bj’s café. Over the years, the town has kept its small-town vibe.
