About this episode

The Pioneer Drug Store opened in 1868 by Dr. Carl Weschcke, a druggist, physician, and longtime mayor of New Ulm. He tended to the wounded during the Dakota Conflict, working alongside Dr. William Mayo. In 1881, a cyclone ripped through the downtown, seriously damaging the building. The current storefront reflects the reconstruction following that event.
