Sander's Cafe and Museum, Historic restaurant museum in Corbin, United States
Located at the crossroads of US Route 25, Sanders Cafe and Museum contains the original kitchen where Colonel Sanders developed his chicken recipe during the 1940s.
Established in 1937 as a gas station with dining facilities, the restaurant gained recognition when Harland Sanders perfected his pressure-cooking method for fried chicken.
The museum exhibits showcase the evolution of American fast food through original KFC artifacts, vintage postcards, recipe books, and Colonel Sanders' personal office.
Visitors can tour the museum while enjoying Kentucky Fried Chicken meals in the restored dining room, with operating hours from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily.
The building combines a functioning KFC restaurant with preserved historical elements, including the original kitchen equipment and motel registration desk from the 1940s.
