Inscription.
Hagen's A&W Root Beer Stand was a family-owned business for 35 years. The root beer stand was a source of summer employment for area high school students and community members. The A&W was a popular meeting place for local teens. All six of the Hagen siblings worked at A&W. Virginia modeled a strong work ethic, instilling team effort and hard work, to her employees. Many memories of family outings and children stopping for treats were made at this site.

Jackson County has fond memories of Hagen's A&W Root Beer Stand. Thank you!

In Loving Memory of Our Parents – Jack and Virginia Hagen.
