Matthias Kremer
Matthias Kremer was a Spirited Man. He had a vision of the future, and he built it.
Matthias traveled from Germany, walking from the center of the country to the coast with his wife & three children to board a boat that would ultimately bring them here. He owned most of these hills and laid most of these bricks.
Matthias son, Michael, would take over the bar at some point up until 1889.
