1 Welcome to Our House A Little History about The Swanson Restaurant In 2002, we purchased the Cox-Swanson home with the dream of serving southern food with a touch of elegance. Throughout the years, The Swanson has become famous for white tablecloths, charming ambience, fried green tomatoes, and those little biscuits. The Cox-Swanson home was famous long before its doors were opened as one of the South s premier dining destinations. In 1790, Mr. Bennett constructed and began a livery stable. In the 1880 s, a three-room house was added to the property and was the home of the former Mayor of Perry, Mayor Cox. The home was purchased in 1903 by Nora Singleton Cox, Ms. Norine Swanson Jones grandmother. In 1909 two bedrooms and a large hall were added transforming the structure into the house we know today. The restaurant was named for Ms. Norine Swanson-Jones. Ms. Norine established Perry s very first kindergarten in her home in the 1930 s. Whether it s enjoying lunch on the porch, or dinner with friends in one of our beautifully decorated rooms, The Swanson is now a must for great food and excellent service, paired with an inviting atmosphere and southern charm. Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to serving our many friends, family and guest in the future. In 2010, The Swanson was honored by Garden & Gun Magazine for being the only Georgia restaurant selected as one of The Best Chicken Joints in the South, July Edition Mike and Kim Sheridan
