Building History
Boone & Bounty’s home at 401 South Palmberg St. is one of Meriden’s oldest buildings. Its history includes serving as a church and a funeral parlor.
During renovation, construction crews uncovered boards marked with writing from the 1890's.
MEANING BEHIND THE NAME
Jefferson County was organized in 1856 by Daniel Boone’s son, Daniel Morgan Boone, and 10 other founders. The name Boone & Bounty honors this history. A boon is also something helpful or beneficial, a blessing.
Bounty means abundance and plenty, a tribute to the agricultural heritage of Jefferson County and the land that provides for both humans and animals year after year.
Paired together, Boone & Bounty celebrates community, heritage, and provision.
