Buck and Bolton Potato Warehouse
Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
Potatoes were an important agricultural export product for Otsego County for much of the early and mid 1900s. Several potato warehouses were located along the Michigan Central Railroad in downtown Gaylord. Potatoes were harvested in the fall and then stored in warehouses until they were sorted, bagged, and shipped during the winter.
Sanford Buck's residence was on the northwest corner of N. Center and Mitchell. Earl Bolton's house is now the Nelson Funeral Home on North Center Avenue. Both homes are featured on this walking tour.
