I realize dining out might not be on your mind as restaurants nationwide are required to shift their business practices as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. While the US is nowhere near as old as many other countries in the world, there's still plenty of history to be found, especially when it comes to food. From inns and taverns that have been around since the Revolutionary War to restaurants that were prominent watering holes in the days of the Wild West, every state has a unique story regarding its oldest restaurant.

KANSAS: Hays House 1857, Council Grove - Hays House was founded by explorer Daniel Boone's great-grandson, Seth Hays, in 1857. From then on, the establishment was a popular restaurant as well as a trading post for the local area. Customers today will still get a historic feel when they walk through the doors. Some of their classic menu items include skillet fried chicken and cranberry-strawberry pie. Have you ever dined at this restaurant?

KENTUCKY: The Old Talbott Tavern, Bardstown - The Old Talbott Tavern has offered food and shelter to travelers since the late 1700s (it was built in 1779). It was particularly popular among people traveling west by stagecoach — even pioneer and explorer Daniel Boone stopped at the tavern during his travels. Plus, the tavern is also reportedly haunted, giving ghost hunters a thrill (and a place to refuel). Have you ever dined at this restaurant?
