Jane's Saddlebag was a restaurant near Big Bone Lick State Park in Union, Kentucky. It was styled as a "hands on" historic educational experience, with an old restored "Saddlebag" home, original stone smokehouse, and a life size replica of a 1700s-style flat boat. The Jane's Saddlebag house was completely refurbished in 2003 and maintained most of its original "saddlebag" style qualities. In November 2024 the property was listed for sale.[1]
The house on the property is a restored historical structure in which preserves its original qualities. The house is a saddlebag style house, also known as a "Double-pen" house. This style of housing is a step up from the normal tenant houses on the larger farms in Kentucky. They are commonly spotted for their characteristic double doors on the front of the house.[2][3][4] [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Smokehouse
Also on site, is an original historic smokehouse built of large grey stones. The smokehouse on the property was built in the 1800s and was used by Kentucky farmers to shelter the process of curing their meat.
