A Gathering Place in Winifred
Winifred was incorporated in 1913, and for about as long as there's been a town, there's been somewhere to gather at the end of the day. The tavern's story reaches back through generations of local gathering places — including an original beer parlor that was lost to fire and rebuilt. The building you walk into today dates to around 1952.
