Owned and operated by members of the Wright family for more than a century, this tavern was "the nearest lodging to the Courthouse and the only known tavern serving meals in the village. The Wright Tavern had a wide reputation for fine food, and for more than a century the lawyers and political leaders enjoyed the hospitality, discussing cases and politics many afternoons and evenings." Also on the property are an antebellum log smokehouse, a grain crib, and a kitchen in which demonstrations of open hearth cooking are held.
Tours and demonstrations are held by appointment only. Call 336-342-5901 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
