When our family first moved to Cumming I thought it was such a shame that we had a beautiful old home right in the middle of downtown that was in such bad shape. It wasn't long (only a couple of months actually) before I started noticing work being done on that corner. Brush was cleared out, the roof was redone and soon the old house was restored and reborn into The Foster House Restaurant. The home, which was originally built in 1887, is truly a southern show piece. The venue is owned and operated by a mother and daughter team, Patricia and Amanda, who make the best of the best in homemade recipes for any occasion. During the week the home is open to the public for breakfast and lunch and then again on Sunday for brunch.
Every time I drive past this historic location, I always look to see what kind of event might be happening on the great brick patio in the back. I have seen Red Hat Ladies lunching, wedding receptions, and mysterious tents that I can only imagine what fun and flavor was being had inside. When you go inside the restaurant you find a great antique home that you can't help but want to wander around. In there I have seen showers, both baby and wedding, informal business meetings in their own private room, and some of the most interesting history in the city.
The next time you have a gathering to plan ... be it a wedding, or just lunch with the girls, we ask you to consider our friends at the Foster House. They are a great venue to host whatever your event may be. Check them out on the web at The Foster House or call 770.887.9905 to schedule your event.
