Mattes Sale Barn

Great broasted chicken @ Silver Dollar Saloon. Mattes livestock auction barn. The scene of violent National Farmers Organization ,NFO protests I believe in the 1960’s.

I grew up close , I watched the fire from my bedroom window. So sad hearing the screaming and the smell was awful

Diane Mattes. Owed by my husband and his father. Sold to Midwest. Closed now. Penterman farms owns it. Employees live there.
