River Bend Creamery

River Bend Creamery. . , It was here in 1906 that Robert L. Adams opened his butter creamery. But shortly after it was destroyed by fire. Mr. E. Stern, a stone mason who lived across the street, built this front portion of stone for the new creamery. Mr. Adams, with his team of horses traveled the surrounding area picking up farmer's milk. He then separated the cream for his butter manufacturing. Later he sold his cream separator to a farmer who then brought his cream right to the plant. He produced high quality, soft butter which for 3 consecutive years won him a blue ribbon at the State Fair. The plant closed in 1922. It later became a meat casing plant. Additional space was added on later and it is now the property of the Wolf Construction Company.
