OUR STORY
Jeff and Lynn (the owners) met in 1990 while working in The Bakery as a cook/baker and a waitress.
We bought The Bakery in September of 1992 and have been going strong ever since. Our family has
grown to a family of five with three incredible boys — ages 2, 12, and 14 — ruling our lives.
OUR BUILDING'S STORY

information about the location of the building: "Near Trammel’s Trace, a road charted 1813,
used by thousands of settlers migrating to Texas, the site was owned 1868 by D.B Culberson,
later a Congressman and Lawyer for Defense in the Diamond Bessie Murder Trial. Culberson’s
two-story building here, was the original site for the Chesterfield Club, the East Texas Elite
Social Group. 1870-1930: The present structure was built about 1900. It housed horses and buggies
for public hire until auto age."
