Charlottesville Historic place to eat? (c1784)

When you visit Charlottesville and are looking at Real Estate you will want to get a feel for the history and feel of Jefferson's Virginia. What better way that to visit and eat at Michie Tavern
(A Virginia Historic Landmark)

 Michie Tavern

Orginally built in Western Albemarle, this 1784 home was moved wilth-in minutes of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.

You can enjoy a delicious southern meal meal, tour the original Tavern and on a cold day warm by the fire!

There is a lot to see and you can even learn 18th-century dances on your tour. There is a General Store and everyone wears traditional clothing.

The Meadow Run Grist Mill (ca. 1797) is a site to see. This is where the general store is offering an old mercantile atmosphere.

The Tavern Gift Shop offers a wide selection of historic reproductions and is fun for kids and adults too!

Stop by and have lunch while visiting Ash Lawn-Highland or Monticello it is a fine way to spend the day!

Charlie- Man i'm hungry after seeing this.  The building looks amazing i'd love to eat there sometime

 


Hi Charles, I have been there and it is a wonderful experience. Thanks.

Barbara - It is a little bit of History!!!

 Charles,  My wife and I stayed at a B&B in St. Michaels Maryland a few weeks ago and the architecture is strikingly similar. 


Main House

Richard - very nice!

Charles I have eaten there many times.  Great place!

You have me really yearning to visit your neck of the woods Charles.   I can only imagine the beauty of it, and you bring to life the area with your articles.  Thank you.

Nannette - and it is fun too!


Kris - you have an open invitation!

Charles - another wonderful post! When I am in DC for Thanksgiving I plan on getting to Williamsburg one day specifically for dinner in a basement restaurant that I love there!!!!!

Charles, a great post--as always. Any ideas on where we might get reservations for dinner on parents weekend? This sounds like a great lunch place, but not sure about dinner. It shouldn't be too hard since my daughter wants to eat at 5:30...because of the Jay-Z/TI concert (which her dad and I will not be attending :)).

Holly - 5:30 will not be such a problem but I would get reservations. Next time we talk I can give you some specific places.


The critical thing is to have a place to stay (hope you are set?)
