In 1910, Dr. George Flippin built a large frame hospital on Fourth Street. This building was used as a hospital, a funeral home, again a hospital and then an apartment house.
In 1993, the building was purchased from the city by Cathy Stromberg McAulay. It was relocated to its present location on the corner of Eighth & Main Streets.
It has been completely remodeled and redecorated throughout with many antiques, and is now Stromberg's värdshus, a Bed & Breakfast, with four rooms each with a private bath.
The värdshus opened for business with an open house on June 17, 1996. Your hosts at Stromberg's värdshus are Charles & Vesta Stromberg.

Six churches welcome you to worship with them.
