The story of The Wooden Tie Cafe has a few beginnings. In a sense, the story begins in the early 1900s, when the all-brick home was built with beautiful wooden built-ins, stained glass windows, and a spacious front porch. It was home to many families through the years, including the Mewes family who were well known for their general store nearby that offered supplies for many rural families in the area... In 2017, the home saw a new beginning. The Jackson family, who had been investing in the Pierron community by purchasing properties and improving them into rental properties, found themselves as the new owners of the home. The family consists of patriarch Bob and his wife Sharon, and their two sons Joe and Andy. Joe's wife Mary, and their two children Emma and Tommy, play key roles in all of the decisions as well. As they started digging into the renovation of their newest project, it became impossible to ignore the amazing original bones of the home. They knew this couldn't be just..
