In the early 1960s, the Pavelka family kicked things off by opening a bait shop, and guess what? They still call this area home! Over the years, the shop grew and evolved, with new rooms being added one at a time to accommodate the needs of the community. The name "Tradinghouse" perfectly captures the essence of what this place is all about—it served as a welcoming hub for trading and gathering, right in the heart of the county, catering to the local folks who live nearby.
