Unfortunately not very much is known about his time in Hamilton, but the house was moved to a site where a railroad depot once sat. It is easy to spot when you're going through town. The house is free and anyone can just walk in during opening hours. There was no attendant or anyone present at the time of my visit, but they do have cameras all over. Be sure to sign the guestbook. A lot of stuff had been restored to what it was believed to have looked like when Mr. Penney lived there. If you're ever in the area, be sure to stop by this place and the museum.

We stopped in for late lunch about 2 pm on a Thursday. Very clean and a friendly atmosphere. Waitress greeted us and we looked over the very extensive menu. I had the Cowboy burger on a pretzel bun (had crunch onion rings on top) with ribbon fries! Delicious!! My husband had the Ring of Fire chicken sandwich on pretzel bun and large order of onion rings. He said it was Delicious as well. Prompt service and hot food. I add it was a slower time of day and mid week. I would imagine it would be more crowded on weekends. The local people eating there could not have been more friendly. Hamilton is a gem of a town! Visiting from Ohio.

Service was great, food was very good and prices are right. Wish we could stay for the Tuesday Music Bingo! Hamburger, chicken parm sandwich, fried pickles and onion rings excellent. I'm only sad that they don't have a bigger beer tap selection of locally crafter beers. Definitely go here when hungry - BTW, it's a family place NOT a dive.

The food here is incredible and worth the 15 minute drive from Cameron to try it. The place is…read morechill and open. They have a dance floor and stage presence that surprised me as I thought it was just a lowkey tavern. The two girls serving did amazing with service and deserve an award for being able to stay on top and somehow manage the bar. I will definitely be back!
