Madison and the
surrounding area has much to offer. The University of Wisconsin offers guided
tours of the Elvehjem Art Museum, Arboretum, and Babcock Hall for ice cream.
In the city, visit the Governor’s Mansion, Madison Art Center, State
Historical Museum, Olbrich Botanical Center, State Capitol, or the Frank
Lloyd Wright Convention Center. Madison lies between tourist destinations
such as the House on the Rock and Taliesen in Spring Green, Wisconsin Dells,
New Glarus, Mineral Point, Cambridge, and Milwaukee. It also is a convenient
stop on the way to the Northern Pine Forests and Lake country.
Quivey’s Grove is a
lovely four acre country estate just outside Madison and two miles south of
the Beltline. The fieldstone mansion and stable were built in 1855 , and are
now on the National Register of Historic Places. The six dining rooms are
decorated with antique quilts, cupboards political lithographs, “Penny
Dreadful” Valentines, and chandeliers. From the original random width hemlock
floors up to the 14 foot ceilings, these charming dining rooms seat groups
from 20 to 120.
The house is connected
by a 60 foot long tunnel to the Stable Grill, which was once an actual horse
stable. Here you can get a refreshing cocktail or beverage. Everything about
Quivey’s Grove, the homemade food, friendly service, and beautiful
surroundings will leave you with the feeling you stepped back in time.
Whenever possible, we
begin with a stop in the Stable Grill with complimentary hot cider or
lemonade, and an informal history of the buildings. History sheets giving
details of the furnishings and antiques are distributed as souvenirs. We then
proceed underground through our tunnel past the wine cellar, connecting to
the Stone House, where we usually serve groups. We are known for the high
quality of our food and the graciousness of our service. After your meal,
guests are then free to wander through the old Stone House to look at the
vast array of period antiques and quilts. You can be back on the road in an
hour if you wish, with a very satisfied and appreciative group.
