Mr. K's Farmhouse
About Mr. K's Farmhouse
Formerly Lena’s, this was one of Ike’s favorite restaurants. Great home-cooking in a friendly country atmosphere. One of the local’s favorites is their catfish dinner.
Although many a story has circulated about the Farmhouse, none are more fascinating or humorous than the one which occurred when, in 1965, President Eisenhower came face to face with a long honored tradition at Lena's.
It was the day the 34th President became "just an ordinary Abilene citizen." While dining at Lena's he watched a first world series game on television with friends and received an early 75th birthday paddling from Lena and her trademark paddles. He signed it and it was hung on the wall for all to see.
