The Traveler Cafe & Art is a dynamic space inspired by Walter Anderson’s adventurous spirit and his travels across the world and into his own Southern wild. Housed in a renovated century-old building directly behind the Museum, The Traveler has been reimagined as a coffee shop and restaurant, a cultural and community hub, and an immersive contemporary art exhibition.
 
Like Shearwater Pottery, also nearly 100 years old, The Traveler champions creative economy, craftsmanship, and local sourcing. Almost everything at The Traveler, from furniture to native plantings to coffee cups, is artist-designed, -curated, or -made.

We invite you to be part of our evolving story. Whether you're stopping in for a quiet morning ritual, a midday retreat, or a special gathering under the stars, The Traveler is a serene haven for inspiration and discovery.
