Did you know?

The C.H. Park Hardware in Alvarado was established in 1890 - the oldest hardware house in Johnson County. The barn pictured below was built in 1908 because they were the sole agents for Moon Brothers buggies and Mitchell Wagons. If a customer wanted one of the wagons or buggies, they would go to Park Hardware, look through a catalog and order one. When delivered the wagon or buggy would be assembled in the barn. They also kept surplus of items for the store there. (information from the 2016 Alvarado Visitor’s Guide)
