Binford House Opens to the Public for Luncheons Every Other Wednesday
The Historic Binford House will be open to the public for luncheon every other Wednesday beginning May 11. Reservations are required by the Friday before each luncheon. Marshalltown residents and visitors will have a new option for dining on Wednesdays. The Historic Binford House, known for its elegant, turn-of-the-century ambiance, tasty food, and courteous service, will be serving luncheon to the public every other Wednesday beginning May 11.
“We are excited to welcome people to the beautiful, historic Binford House with these special Wednesday luncheons,” commented Ce Hubbard, President of the Marshalltown Federation of Women’s Clubs, which owns and operates the house. “One of our goals with these luncheons is to include people who have never, or rarely, been inside the house, so they can be more aware of what a community gem it is,” she said. “We encourage people to consider meeting their friends, family, business associates, or organization groups here over luncheon,” Hubbard said. The Binford House is located at 110 N. 2nd Avenue in Marshalltown, and is open to both men and women.
Guests will be seated beginning at 11:30 a.m., and luncheons will be served at 11:45 a.m. Patrons may choose between two featured entrées, which will vary each Wednesday. Binford House caterer Leona Wallen says she has enjoyed developing the menus for the luncheons. “We’re planning to feature some of my most popular dishes, as well as celebrate events on the calendar. For example, we’re using a patriotic theme for the Wednesday nearest July 4,” Wallen said. The luncheons are now scheduled for May 11 and 25, June 8 and 22, and July 6 and 20. Menus are published in advance, and can be found on the Binford Facebook page at binfordhousemarshalltown or in brochures available from Binford board members. All meals cost $20 and include side dishes, beverage, and dessert.
Guests are welcome to bring their favorite wine to accompany their luncheon. Seating is limited, and reservations are required no later than the Friday preceding each luncheon. People can make reservations by calling 641-753-5450 with their entrée choices. Payment will be accepted at the door the day of the luncheon in cash or by check only. Meals are also available for take-out, and can be picked up between 12:15 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. The Binford House, built in 1874, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its Victorian Italianate architecture. The house was the girlhood home of Jessica Binford, who is recognized in the Iowa Women’s Hall of Fame for her work on behalf of children and immigrants at Hull House in Chicago. In addition to the Wednesday luncheons, the Historic Binford House provides a unique and welcoming venue for events, celebrations, and social occasions throughout the year, and is open to the public by arrangement. Contact 641-753-5450 to schedule an event or for additional information.
