August 17, 2012 (Grover, NC) Hot off the heels of items sent by the Bush Foundation and National Archives are new bits and pieces sent from the Clinton family to The Presidential Culinary Museum. They will smile at the many other precious holdings celebrating President Grover Cleveland, whom the town is named after. The special exhibit is part of the daily guided 1 1/2 hour long tours at 9:30 am, seven days a week, for $7.00 dollars per person. The museum hours for self tours are 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. The exhibit will open on Friday, August 24.
Why is there a candy bar in front of first lady Frances Folsom Cleveland and her husband (28 years her senior)? Because their first child “Ruth” had the honor of still being known in America today with her very own chocolate treat named after her! What’s with the ripe yellow banana in front of President Bill Clinton? Where did the custom milk glasses of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton come from and is that really her favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe on them? The gold foil wrapped Korbel bottle of champagne from the turn of them millenium bubbles and crys out for story telling along with the bronze coin in front of it.
These and many other seasoned stories are to be enjoyed and had at the museum. During the daily 1 1/2 hour long tours the history of the mansion it resides in unfolds to also showcase how the town got it’s name, the families who live here and how they fought at the battle of King’s Mountain and more. The museum has been open for five years and is listed with the American Association of Museums. It was created by the disabled US Military Veterans project under the direction of two disabled veterans and chefs, Stormy and Martin Mongiello.
