Michie Tavern, Colonial tavern near Charlottesville, United States
The wooden two-story structure features a central tavern section, multiple dining rooms, and an assembly hall designed for social gatherings and meetings.
William Michie established the tavern in 1784 after returning from Valley Forge, turning it into a gathering place during early American political events.
The tavern staff wears 18th-century attire while serving traditional Southern dishes including fried chicken, black-eyed peas, and buttermilk biscuits.
Located along Route 53 near Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, the establishment functions as both a museum and restaurant, offering guided tours and dining services.
In 1927, the entire building was dismantled and moved 17 miles by horse, wagon, and truck to its current location near Monticello.
