5. Michie Tavern

The historic Michie Tavern, a general store and restaurant dating from 1784, is housed within the old Meadow Run Grist Mill, just a short piece from Jefferson's Monticello. History and family fun merge at this mountainside eatery, where the staff don period attire and guests learn about the life of founder William Michie, Colonial Virginia dance steps, and what it was like to dine in a real tavern. Be sure to stop by the store to pick up a few Colonial-themed souvenirs for the folks back home. This is an experience the whole family will not soon forget.   (© 10Best)

Great Family Fun at Michie Tavern Great experience for the whole family. If you are going to Charlottesville to see Monticello I would suggest stopping at the Tavern for lunch. The buffett has the best chicken and stewed tomatoes I've ever had. It's a big meal so you can make this your main meal. The kids got to burn off their energy during the tour. Peggy was a great guide. We enjoyed learning and dancing the colonial reel. Appreciate that we could take photos.
