Commiskey

Tea, gardens & wine

Stream Cliff Herb Farm

The Twigs and Sprigs Tea Room at the Stream Cliff Herb Farm, a historic 1821 homestead, in Commiskey, Indiana, is just part of the charm of this sixth generation family farmstead with its extensive gardens, winery and historic buildings.

The gardens are laid out in quilt blocks and there are shops selling homemade traditional crafts and garden related items as well as a winery. Special events include their annual Old Barn Markets & BBQ at Stream Cliff Farm held at the end of July and Christmas at the Farm in October.

The home was part of the only Civil War battle in Indiana when Confederate Captain John Hunt Morgan crossed the Ohio and went plundering through southeast Indiana on his famous raid. Members of his army raided the home and stole money that was hidden in the chimney.

James Covered Bridge

Also in Commiskey is the James Covered Bridge, covered Howe truss bridge spanning Graham Creek. Built in 1887, it's named Thomas S. James who owned the adjacent property and mill. The 130-foot bridge also is called the Kissing Bridge because the names of several of James’ children along with those they were courting are etched into the wooden trusses.
