Schweers Hardware Plaque Installed

Published March 28, 2025

The 15th Shawano Has History plaque, for Schweers Hardware, was installed at 127 S. Main Street in Shawano, the current home of The War Bonnet.

Built in 1890, immediately following the fire which took out several businesses on the west side of Main Street, this was the home of Schweers Brothers Hardware, one of the earliest independent hardware retailers in Shawano.

We want to thank the Schweers family for sponsoring this plaque! We’ll take photos with the Schweers family and the plaque at a later time. Special thanks to Trent Nolan of Nolan Signs for installing our plaques.

We have more plaques being installed later this spring.
