HISTORY

Odebolt Lumber began in 1882 when S.H. Bowman purchased the land from Blair Town Lot Company and built S.H. Bowman Lumber Company, about 1886.  In 1927 Bowman sold to C.M. Youmans Lumber Company of Winona, Minnesota, and in 1946 Youmans sold to Farmers Grain Terminal Association of which Great Plains Supply Company was a part.

During the "Farm Crisis" of the early 1980's, Great Plains fell on hard times and closed many of their lumber yards, including Odebolt.

In 1984 Wall Lake Lumber Company purchased the Odebolt site and has run a "Full-Service" Lumber Yard there since.
   


The lumber yard has a proud history and is believed to be the oldest business operating in Odebolt.
This photo of Bowman Lumber Co., was taken nearly 100 years ago, in 1906.
