Fifty Years & Still Going

The Andrew L. Tuttle Memorial Museum honors Defiance city businesses that have been operating for over fifty years in the community. Each business is recognized at a civic program hosted by the Defiance City Mayor at the Stroede Center located at 319 Wayne Avenue.

The Rettig Music Store is one example of this. Founder Emma Rettig's family Miller organ is exhibited inside the museum, along with a timeline of the business's development. The organ is played as part of special programs.
