Source-checked story profile

Owner interview pending · Field visit pending

A restaurant story carried by one of Medicine Park’s defining buildings.

The owner-published history reaches back to an open-air pavilion. It is a strong reporting lead, but business lore and documentary history must remain clearly separated.

01

The business’s account

The Old Plantation’s official history traces the structure to a 1910 open-air pavilion, later enclosure and cobblestone work, a 1966 reopening by Rex and Ruby Leath, a 2008 revival, and purchase by Chad and Jenna Thornton in 2014.

02

What visitors can verify now

The owner site describes Southern-style food along with hand-cut steaks and pork chops and lists the restaurant at 143 East Lake Drive. Current schedule information conflicts across its own pages, so hours remain deliberately omitted here.

03

What remains to be reported

The property timeline still needs corroboration with public preservation or property records. Present ownership, restoration documentation, operating schedule, and photo permission also require direct confirmation.
