Six years ago, the Oolman family in Lead embarked on a journey to breathe new life into their community by transforming a building into a hub of local culture and commerce. The building, shared by a couple, their daughter, and son-in-law, now houses a salon and a unique gift shop called Miners & Merchants Trading Post that has become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors.
