A Dining Experience Like No Other

Treat yourself or someone special to a delicious farm-to-table dining experience at Renfrew Museum and Park. Our Farmstead Taste & Tour program offers guests the opportunity to sample seasonal, locally sourced fare inspired by the traditions of our historic Pennsylvania German farmstead. Your meal will be hosted in Renfrew’s Wagon Shed Room inside our converted Victorian barn. Servers dressed in authentic early 19th century clothing will wait upon you with old-fashioned hospitality as each course is introduced along with informational commentary on how it relates to the heritage of the farmstead.

Start with a hearty coursed meal of salad, soup, and a selection of fresh-baked breads with preserves followed by a delicious entrée. After lunch, enjoy a tour of the farmstead outbuildings and 1812 stone Museum House, then return for a scrumptious dessert. Our menu changes seasonally and reflects the rhythms of life on the farm.

Chef Prepared Tasting Courses

All dishes are freshly prepared by Chef Delaney Blubaugh of Delaney’s Delicacies, Waynesboro, PA, especially for guests of Renfrew Museum and Park. Our menu changes seasonally and reflects the rhythms of life on the farm, including fresh heirloom produce from our gardens when available.
