The Stafford Inn-Larimer’s Tavern
In architecture, both the taverns are consistent with the Georgian style. The Two Tavern structures utilized the rich building resources of the region. The brown fieldstone, clay and lime along with hand hewn log timbers were used in the foundation and framing.
Ancestors of seven generations who owned and lived in the larger tavern claimed the property was purchased by one of the family members December 31, 1795, when the tavern was already well established by the name of “The Stafford Inn.”
The larger of the Two Taverns provided lodging, spirits and meals to travelers. More “aristocratic” coach guest and paying patrons were expected to take a room and partake of hearty fare during their journey.
The Stafford Inn was owned by seven generations of the Snyder family. They achieved meritorious military history and made notable contributions in their medical careers.
