Dan and Connie Haag purchased Eden Valley Lumber on April 1st, 1990 - 31 Years ago from previous owner, Willard Holmquist!  If you are in the neighborhood, pop in and wish them a Happy Anniversary while checking out everything they have to offer or planning your next DIY project!  Eden Valley Lumber originally opened in 1918 in it's current location, next to the railroad tracks.  Back in the day, most lumberyards were built next to railroad tracks for easy access to products arriving by rail.  In those early times, not just lumber was delivered, but coal for heating was shoveled off the railroad cars at this location as well. The original coal building still stands behind Eden Valley Lumber's large warehouse south of the retail store.  Check out the small gray building next time you are out sight-seeing! Fun fact - did you know that 22 trains currently pass through Eden Valley daily? Can you imagine if they all still stopped to drop supplies at the lumber yard!!!

When Dan and Connie purchased the lumber yard in 1990, it was much smaller than it is today.  Over the years, a large warehouse was attached to the west side, another to the south of the store and an additional warehouse was added to the east, across State Street.  A major remodel took place in 1995.  It housed only 1 office at that time and currently has 5 offices making room for those responsible for management, drafting and planning services.
