years later in 1897, a concert was held for the benefit of the construction of the Confederate monument.

From a new century there remains a menu, printed by hand from the Cherry Tree & Hatchet, the name of the tea room operated by Mrs. Meigs and her daughters in the 30’s. At Mrs. Meigs’ you could get the chicken dinner for 75 cents. With the chicken came potatoes, vegetables, salad, hot rolls, preserves, and dessert.

Or you could have the economy breakfast for 40 cents. This included fruit, cereal, ham or bacon with eggs, toast, coffee and preserves. , It’s not possible to list all the Rappahannock treasures that Miss Jenkins has lovingly displayed in the old tavern. Her museum has been featured in Southern Living, the Washington Post, The Washington Star Magazine, and in an A. P. wire feature picked up by many eastern publications. There are no regular hours but she will personally show you the museum if you call in advance, and she’s very interested in acquiring or learning about any item, no matter how small, that has had a place in Rappahannock history.
