Who would have thought an evening of trailing a deer would lead to a new destination being built in Muskogee? Well, that’s what happened. Garry and Bill never did find that deer, but after a long walk and a few homemade beers, they dreamed up an idea. Muskogee needed a microbrewery and the city planners agreed. Muskogee city council had the old, rundown firehouse on a list to be demolished, but no one overly wanted this to happen. After a long time of negotiating, the deal was done and the work began. With the help of many Muskogee locals, the dream slowly became a reality. As word got out about the project, people generously donated photos, postcards and historical artifacts from Muskogee’s past and present firehouse related history. Many hours of blood, sweat and, yes, even a few tears lead to the design of Station 1 Restaurant and the Muskogee Brewing Company.
