The iron shutters may have been used as a protection against bandits or Indians in the area. Since the closure, the store has become a local reminder of the rich history of the area on and been mostly ransacked by looters. Now the area is scattered with descendants of Neuhaus and other Central European immigrants. Farming mostly consists of cattle grazing and hay production. (en)
