Just off the town square in Lynchburg is Miss Mary Bobo�s Boarding House where My. Jack took many a noonday meal. It�s a Lynchburg tradition that started as a traveler�s hotel back in 1867. Miss Mary Bobo ran the boarding house until her death in 1983, one month prior to her 102nd birthday. During Miss Mary�s time, most of the boarders who lived and took all their meals there were old bachelors like Tom Motlow, who ran the Farmer�s Bank, and the federal agents assigned to regulate the Distillery. Since 1984, Jack Daniels�s great-grandniece, Miss Lynne Tolley, has been the proprietress of Miss Mary�s. It�s no longer a boarding house, but it�s a great place for a real home-cooked meal experiencing Southern hospitality at its best and even making some new friends.
