Anyone who has ever waited for a table at Cracker Barrel knows the front porch. Rows of wooden rocking chairs sit out there, ready for you to sit a spell, and for plenty of folks they are as much a part of the place as the biscuits. Now the company is turning those rockers into art, and doing it to honor veterans.
It is called Rockers Across America, and according to a Cracker Barrel press release dated November 9, 2026, the month-long project runs from November 9 through November 30.
Four Rocking Chair Designs, Two Artists, And A Tribute To Two Veterans
The installations feature four designs created by artists Victoria Barnhill and Emma Gilbert. They are called The Guardians, The Aviator, Grandma’s Cookin’ and Serving Others.
Two of the designs carry the names of real veterans. The Aviator honors Glenn Carr, and Serving Others honors Mike Madden. Putting a name on a chair gives the project a face, and it turns a rocking chair into something a visitor can stop and read about.
You Can See Them At 10 Stores Across The Country
The rockers will be on display at 10 Cracker Barrel locations. They are in Manassas, Virginia; Concord, North Carolina; McDonough, Georgia; Orange Park, Florida; Orlando, Florida; Mount Juliet, Tennessee; Fishers, Indiana; Independence, Missouri; Arlington, Texas; and Phoenix, Arizona…
