Wednesday: This was a chilly, rainy week so we didn't get out quite as much. Bruce and I did go to Michie's Tavern for lunch on Wednesday. William Michie was a Scotsman who ran the original tavern, which was a social center and provided food and lodging for travelers. You can tour that, too, but we didn't.
The whole place is a colonial setting with everyone dressed like the 1700's. The dining room--the Ordinary--is a log structure on the inside, with a warm fire place, period music, tin plates and cups, period furnishings and a great view. The food is typical of what they would have had, served buffet style, same menu daily, and very delicious. It was so chilly and windy we didn't stay long but went back with Jeffrey and Heather Sunday afternoon to check out the other buildings. There is a gift shop, storage building, Clothier, and General Store (in the Meadow Run Grist Mill) on the property.
