PARKMAN — Since the original Parkman Bar was built in 1894, it has been the premiere — and currently only — dining and drinking spot in the census-designated community.
The current building has stood in its current location off Highway 345 since 1950, and one would have to drive miles in either direction before finding another place to eat: The bar is 8 miles from Dayton and 10 from Ranchester. The Parkman Bar and Grill isn’t a stopping point on a journey, but rather a final destination.
