LOVE THIS ❤️‼️and FYI for our guest this is across the street from Friendship House !

A Wilder Days Old-Fashioned Dinner Experience Saturday September 26th.

Step back in time during Wilder Days in Mansfield and join us aboard the Southern Belle Dining Car for a special evening inspired by the simpler days of the prairie! 🌾

Pull out your bonnets, prairie dresses, suspenders and boots and come dressed for the occasion! Our Southern Belle crew will be dressed in period-inspired clothing, the train will be transformed into an old-fashioned prairie dining experience, and we’ll be serving up a special menu filled with the comforting flavors of days gone by.

🍗 THE PRAIRIE SUPPER

Enjoy old-fashioned favorites such as:

• Laura’s Fried Chicken Dinner
• Ma’s Chicken & Dumplings

• Mashed Potatoes & Country Gravy
• Fried Cabbage
• Green Beans
• Homemade Biscuits & Cornbread
• Apple Butter
• Old-Fashioned Desserts
• Homemade Lemonade & Root Beer

📖 We’ll have old-fashioned music, prairie-inspired décor, period clothing, photo opportunities and a few special surprises throughout the evening!

👒 COME DRESSED FOR THE PRAIRIE!
Dress as your favorite Little House-style character, a pioneer, prairie girl, farmer, homesteader—or simply come dressed in your best old-fashioned attire.

🏆 We’ll even have prizes for some of our favorite costumes!

👧 FOR THE LITTLE PIONEERS:
We’ll have old-fashioned activities and games for our younger guests, too!

📸 Come hungry. Come dressed up. Bring the family. And get ready to step aboard the Southern Belle and take a little trip back in time. ❤️

We are truly delighted when repeat guests, who previously visited us in September and have returned from Indiana for the weekend, bring such thoughtful gifts of homemade preserves and their own honey, but the most valuable outcome is the beautiful friendship that we have been blessed with.
