History of the Horse

On June 2, 1972, the Iron Horse opened in what was the Manor House Restaurant.

In the fifties you might remember Powell's Shoe Store and the Mode Ode Day Clothing Store as the occupants of the present dining room.

In the fall of 1972 we purchased the nostalgic "Brunswick Cafe" which was located two doors east of the Iron Horse. We also leased the space that housed the Pines Bakery Shop between the two. Hence the birth of our Club Car Lounge.

In its heyday visitors from far and wide will recall the flamboyant Brunswick and the Tepee Room which featured carved wooden Indians, totem poles and "Skook-um-chuck." Bill Webster, owner of the Brunswick, said his great food made him famous. Now, nearly six decades later, several of his specialties like the "Big Chief," the "Haystack," the "Awful-Awful" and the Cheese Soup are still being served here at the Iron Horse.

In 1976 the original Brunswick became our banquets and live music space, but its legends and memories live on.
