The little red brick storefront built by the founder of Williams Seed Store has stood the test of time for 85 years while four generations of the Williams family have kept Pueblo gardeners deeply rooted.
Located on the Mesa at 2154 E. U.S. Highway 50, the store was built by Henry Williams when he moved the seed place from its Union Avenue location.
“That’s where he learned the trade,” said his son Henry Norman Williams, 80, who keeps the family tradition alive. His mother, Rose, “was the one who did a lot of work in the store,” while her husband was out working in the fields or selling Case Tractors next door to the seed place.
