Old records for this section are very scarce, but since this is a part of Knox's history, the earliest tea room or teahouse in the village of Knox was "The Crossways". It was housed in "Ep" Barkley's store and was operated by Helen and Margaret Ogden. Vertie Gibbs reports one could obtain a light lunch. Apparently it did not operate for too many years.
