Founded by the Quakers in 1806, nestled on the east fork of the Whitewater River, off I-70, the seat of Wayne County, bordering on Ohio, the town of Richmond, Indiana is known as "The Cradle of Recorded Jazz" because the earliest jazz recordings were made...at the studio of Gennett Records. It also is the home of the Wayne County Historical Museum, the Indiana Football Hall of Fame and Firehouse BBQ and Blues, East Central Indiana's most unique dining establishment. Located at 400 North 8th Street, Firehouse BBQ offers hickory-smoked meats and classic sides, plus live entertainment and hand-painted murals in a restored 1860 fire station. Open from 11 to 9 Monday through Thursday and 11 to 10 on Friday and Saturday, Firehouse BBQ is recognized as one of the finest BBQ restaurants in Indiana. On weekends, live blues music attributed to Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington attracts visitors from as far away as Dayton (46 miles to the east), Cincinnati (67 miles to the south) and Indianapolis (92 miles to the west). How about a bowl of Firehouse chili with cheddar cheese and onion served with jalapeno cornbread? Or the house's top seller, Brunswick Stew, a tomato base with smoked sausage, pork, brisket and chicken? Or a pulled pork sandwich with tender pork smoked for 10 hours with seasoned hickory? Or the smoking hog, smoked sausage stuffed with pulled pork, cheese, onions and BBQ sauce? With sides of coleslaw and baked beans. Lunch never tasted so good.More
