Watkins

Today I was exploring the town and I decided to visit the Watkins museum and store. This is the chair of the first company president. He bought a patent for a liniment while he lived in Plainview, MN. He took his liniment to Winona where he made more medical products. Later he made vanilla extract and started selling spices.

They are still coming up with new products. Recently they started selling various meat rubs for BBQ and aromatic bitters for fancy cocktails.
