The Log Inn
The Log Inn was built in 1825 and is one of the oldest inns in the United States. In the 1840s, the Log Inn was one of the main stagecoach stops between Evansville and Vincennes. Abraham Lincoln stopped there in November 1844 when he was coming back home from Evansville while on the campaign trail for Henry Clay, a Kentucky senator at the time. Their menu is full of classic American family-style dinners and pies for dessert.
Turoni's Pizzery & Breery
Turoni's wants to share with you their freshly made pizza crust that is crisp and light enough to hold their secret sauce, tons of mozzarella cheese, and your favorite ingredients to make what they call their "Specialty," Turoni's thin crust pizza. While serving up some of the most highly-acclaimed pizza in the Midwest, they also feature six draft taps of ice-cold, award-winning, American-made craft beer. What could go better with pizza than beer?
