HISTORIC BUILDING(S)

Blue Store and John Henry Center

Minneapolis, KS | Ottawa County

The locals say the store dates to 1884, originally sold goods, and always was called the Blue Store. Its exterior Dakota sandstone wall has long been the perfect spot for the store's advertising billboard. The building currently serves as an event venue.
