Museum Restaurant

Miss Faye gets here before dawn most mornings to get the coffee going. By the time the rest of the staff gets here, the aroma of the day's mouth-watering dishes fills the air.

Pull up a chair to the table and enjoy a meal prepared the way they've been fixed in country kitchens for generations. You haven't lived till you've eaten one of Faye's special dishes, and it would be a cryin' shame if you didn't try some of her famously tempting desserts while you're here!

Vegetables fresh from the Farm Garden. Greens more tender and sweet than any you've ever tasted before. Tart and delicious fried green tomatoes -- chicken 'n' dumplins like you remember from your grandmother's kitchen -- heavenly peach cobbler and coconut cake and fried apple pies -- the Museum Staff would be hard pressed to tell you what their favorite dishes are. You'll just have to stop by and decide for yourself.

Each day, there's a special of a meat and two vegetables, and every day you can enjoy pinto beans and cornbread or vegetable soup in a bread bowl. If you're lucky, the day you come by, she'll be frying cornbread on the stove. . . .

Need a cake for Saturday night's company? Call ahead to arrange for our kitchen to bake one for you.

(Insider's Tip: When you come in, ask Faye if she has any of her sourdough bread.)
