With 41 years of diary entries, newspaper accounts and our own careful decoding, The Neely House restaurant reflects life as it was in the times of Thomas S. Neely, who built this home in 1852. The orchard and garden have been replanted and are full of fruit and vegetables! The setting is the restored home of Muncie pioneer Thomas S Neely. Mr. Neely journaled daily from 1860 until his death in 1901. In his diaries he chronicled life prior to the turn of the last century. Included in his writings are references to home improvements and constant updates of progress in the vegetable gardens and orchard. Todays Neely house is restored to reflect the home and gardens as they are described in the diary entries and newspaper articles. Patrons enjoy regional, fresh ingredients, including those grown on site. The entire experience is designed to celebrate an appreciation of Love, Beauty and Food. History aside, this new addition to east central Indianas dining scene will feature the newest and most exciting presentation of new American cuisine by chef Nick Kirkpatrick.
