The Koontz Coffee Pot was built by Bert Koontz in 1927 ... But with declining traffic on the Lincoln Highway, the Coffee Pot went from lunch stand, to Greyhound station, to seedy bar in the 1970s, to a diner which closed in the mid-1980s. It sat abandoned and deteriorating ... for many years.
Miraculously, Bert's great nephew (Dick Koontz), with assistance from Lincoln Highway supporters, arranged for the Pot to be relocated across the street at the Fairgrounds.
