False alarm, friends! 🚨

An enthusiastic member of our team accidentally sent us on vacation a few days early.

1867 A Modern Chophouse is OPEN and operating during our normal lunch and dinner hours on June 4th and June 5th.

So if you were making other lunch plans, consider this your official permission to cancel them. 😉

Thank you for your patience while we untangle our calendars. We can't wait to welcome you in.

See you at the bar.

It’s rare to find a company that combines great customer service with high-quality work under a tight deadline, but Commercial Press Printing exceeded expectations. Highly recommend them for your printing needs! 👏

Step into a stay that’s anything but ordinary. ✨

The lobby at The Wills Hotel was designed to feel warm, tailored, and effortlessly inviting — from the rich textures to the intimate lounge spaces - made for conversation, cocktails, and slowing down for a moment.

Together with Riley Hotel Group, we're counting down the days until we officially open our doors in downtown Cumberland on May 27th.

A new standard of hospitality is almost here.
