June 20 - 6pm Hitching Post, Hedley - Invite Only

The Hitching Post Restaurant building was one of the first permanent structures in Hedley. It was built by L.W. Shatford and opened in May of 1903 as a one story building. The second floor was used as a Masonic dance hall. Old Timers tell tales of dancing until 4 am and knocking all the glassware off the store shelves below despite the 8” x 8” posts used to stabilize it. Looking forward to breaking glasses with you in June! Ha, ha!

The buidling has had a variety of different uses including being a restaurant and in 2004, a local chef and his entrepreneur/ archaeologist wife purchased the building and the business and are continuing the tradition of the Hitching Post as a ‘destination restaurant’.
