Excerpt from Early Days in Two Rivers, Wisconsin: Compromising a Series of Papers Read Before the Manitowoc County Historical Society, at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, November, Nineteen Hundred and Seven Believing that the time was near at hand when the last of that band of pioneers who came here when the settlement was in its very infancy would have passed away, the writer at the solicitation of some of his friends endeavored, as far as possible, to collect such facts and incidents from those still living as might prove interesting and instructive. The writer feels indebted to those who so kindly assisted him, and especially to Mr. G.H. Albee, a pioneer resident of this city, but now of Neenah, Wisconsin.

The heritage of Two Rivers has been shaped by water. The rare conjunction of Lake Michigan with a dual river system compelled the Potawatomi and Menominee as well as the first American settlers. People of the First Nations plied the lake and rivers in search of whitefish, while initial American settlers sought fish and timber and appreciated the commercial potential of the harbor. Two Rivers rapidly developed into a woodenware manufacturer of world significance. When native forests diminished, the community demonstrated patterns typical of a small American town. Businesses, schools, churches, and public services grew and thrived. Through periods of growth, decline, and stability, the lake and the rivers have given the community its distinctiveness. Located on a small peninsula almost 90 miles north of Milwaukee, Two Rivers s climate has earned it a reputation as the coolest spot in Wisconsin. "

With financial help from his father, Peter Joseph Schroeder, Peter Schroeder opened a small dry goods business in 1891 at the southeast corner of Eighteenth and Washington Streets in the B. Mayer Building. Over the next five years, his brothers Joseph, John, and Frank joined the operation. In 1899, business was flourishing. The current three-story building was constructed at the northwest corner of Seventeenth and Washington Streets, and the store became a physical anchor in the downtown business district. The Schroeders believe in giving back to the community they call home. Over four generations, the Schroeders and their spouses donated more than 5,000 hours to various civic organizations in Two Rivers. Many changes have taken place at Schroeder's in its 126-year history. Today's store offers a full line of men's and women's apparel and footwear, as well as a coffeehouse and alterations. Schroeder's also leases space to a toy shop, yarn shop, quilt shop, and gift shop.
