Historic Merrell Inn Review

Built in 1794 as a private residence and later converted to a stagecoach stop, this meticulously maintained inn has good-size rooms (several with working fireplaces) and an unfussy, authentic style, with polished wide-board floors, painted walls, and antiques. The sitting room has the only intact "birdcage" bar—a semicircular bar surrounded by wooden slats, designed to prevent thirsty Colonials from reaching across and helping themselves—in the country. Breakfast is cooked to order and served in the keeping room, where travelers have dined for centuries.
