WELCOME

We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s make something.

Hello!

Thank you for stopping by. I am Maggie Noble and my husband, Matt and I restored, own and operate The Tavern on the Square in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. We’re a couple of chefs who like to fix things. We are forever restoring our 1895 home and homeschooling three kids on top of it all. I started this journal well before the plot twist of becoming a restaurateur, as a way to connect with other moms and strengthen skills as homemakers but the noble home has evolved into a space to record our Tavern stories & family recipes and whatever else that sticks to the wall in this crazy season. Thank you for joining us.
