Michie Tavern has welcomed travelers for more than 200 years. Imagine arriving by horseback, on foot or by coach. The rooms would be thick with the scent of cooked venison and tobacco. Voices, some raised in heated political debate, would carry from room to room. As you cross the threshold of old Michie's Tavern you enter another time. Our costumed hostess welcomes you into the past as "Stranger," an early 18th-century term for a traveler. VIEW OUR NEW PRINTED BROCHURE

Much like the 18th-century visitor, you will be enjoying homemade southern fare based on recipes from the period. After your Hearty Midday Fare , a "taste" of the past lingers while you tour through the oldest sections of the Tavern.  This is where your 18th-century counterpart came to dine and socialize.

Taverns served not only as a place to eat, drink and sleep, but also as the center of the community. As you climb the stairs to the second floor, you enter the Assembly Room. This large, sunlit room once served as a ballroom, makeshift school room, a place for worship and for extra sleeping accommodations. The other rooms on tour, including the elaborately decorated Ladies' Parlor, also served many purposes.

After touring the Tavern, guests may continue their tour through various outbuildings and then down a winding path through the woods which leads to the Meadow Run Mill and General Store.  Along the path is the Clothier Shop and the most recent Marketplace shop, the Metal Smith Shop.  Click here to download the Metal Smith video. 

Be sure to reserve a "PRESIDENTS' PASS" COMBINATION TICKET if you plan to tour our area's historic attractions.
