Jim sends Columbia, KY menu card from 100 years ago today There was quite a feast to be enjoyed right on the Square in Downtown Columbia, KY, on Thanksgiving Day 1909, "Jim" writes in response to Which Restaurants will be open for Thanksgiving Dinner? letter from Charles Marshburn More details about who's open Thanksgiving, who's not, see the "What's Cooking" feature. By "Jim" Had Mr. Marshburn posed his Thanksgiving Dinner query a mere century earlier, the answer would have been easy: the Columbia Hotel, located on the Public Square at Greensburg Street. This announcement appeared on the front page of the Wednesday, November 24, 1909 Adair County News under the heading "Menu Card:" The following will be the menu for Columbia Hotel Thanksgiving: Oyster Soup, Celery Sauce, Roast Turkey with Cranberries, Cream Potatoes, Roast Pig, Nuts, Cheese, Chocolate and Pumpkin Pies.The cost of this cornucopia of culinary delights? Twenty-five cents -- abut six dollars in today's money. For CM readers who may not be quite as long of tooth, gray of hair, or soft of brain as Ye Scribe, the Columbia Hotel opened in 1898 as the Conover Hotel, then operated as the Marcum from 1900 until the middle of 1906. At that time, it became the Columbia Hotel and ran under that name for several years, except during a brief hiatus when it was known as the Hancock, notto be confused with the other Hancock Hotel, the one on Burkeville Street). It later was variously called the Jeffries, Miller, and New Adair Hotel. The hotel stood at what is now The Adair County Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY. The hotel burned down in 1977. Billy Joe Fudge, inspired by an old photo from the Larry Smith collection, has a memory of the barber shop in that old structure. -EW This story was posted on 2009-11-24 02:20:48
