History

Established in 2013.

The last storefront Pam Michel owned was Antiqurie on Broadway in the 1980s. She has been in the antique business for 26 years. After running business from home for several years, an idea came to life as the Michel’s saw potential in a dilapidated house on Main Street. The house was built in the 1880’s. In a more recent time it was converted into a duplex. It remained abandoned for some time before Pam & Bob purchased it from the county on back taxes in 2009. Restoration on the property began immediately. Extensive structural damage was constantly unearthed, and the project dragged on longer than expected. After four years of laboring over 1753, the house was ready to be shown off. In June of 2013, the Mercantile on Main house was featured in the ARCH home tour of the Nebraska Neighborhood. Mercantile on Main officially opened October of 2013.
