Eating in Charlottesville (ca. 1784)

When you visit Charlottesville 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)

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!

Charles, this is some great information on local businesses in your neighborhood. Thanks for sharing.

DANNY - you are welcome and if you ever visit, make this a stop!

Charles, This would make a great post to localism. History really fascinates me now, but it was one of the subjects that almost kept me from graduating from high school. I had A's and B's in all my subjects by D's and F's in history. Go figure!

MICHAEL - Thanks to funny!

I have been meaning to ask, are you and Danny (above) related?

Charles this is awesome. I love finding little places like this when I am out of state. If I get up that way I am gonna have to check this one out. I bet there is some yummy honey and jams in that general store.

LINDA - you should stop by if you get by this way!

Charles, that is the life long question. I do not really know the answer to it, but he is from my neck of the woods.

DANNY - got ya!

Wow, 18th century dances? Now that I would love to see. Great post!
