History
In 1927, a young farmer named James Stoughton decided that that he had milked his last cow. Stoughton decided to open a sandwich stand on the far corner of the farm property. Green Gables quickly became known for its chicken salad sandwiches and angel food cake. It earned Second Place in the national Rockefeller Wayside Stand Competition in 1928. The prize enabled Stoughton to expand the sandwich stand to a restaurant that grew room by room in the decades that followed. Today Green Gables is a full-service, fine dining, Wine Spectator award-winning restaurant serving dinner and brunch throughout the year. In 1962, fire destroyed the Studio Barn, which Stoughton had converted from a functioning barn to a banquet hall. The remains of the barn provided the framework for the building that is Huddleson Court today. Huddleson Court offers overnight lodging in renovated rooms and suites on the campus shared with Green Gables as well as cottages around Stoughton Lake.
