Red River Bakery

1917

Built in 1917 by the Red River Lumber Co. as a bakery, it supplied 3 stores and the company cookhouse. It was famed for its biscuits (as in biscuits & gravy) that gave the loggers the fuel needed to build Westwood out of virgin timber. It has also housed the 1st GM dealership in the area, a 5 & dime store & credit union. Today it is the home of the Westwood Museum, a restaurant and Westwood Utility District.

Marker is on Ash Street (County Highway A21) south of 4th Street, on the right when traveling south.
