Schnackie’s then…

Schnackenberg’s is back (props to Eugene and Joyce Flinn). Dorothy Schnackenberg Novak, a daughter of founder Henry Schnackenberg, recently donated this early menu to the Museum from the days when coffee was five cents and Tutti-Frutti was an ice cream flavor (made downstairs!) before it became a rock-and-roll song. Her father opened it in 1931 (Dorothy came along a bit later) and she was there when it closed for renovation in 2012. She still lives above the shop and, like many in town, is happy in its return.
