Since early colonial times, the old stone building has stood over looking the eastern bank of the Susquehanna River, south of Fort Augusta (Sunbury). Legend holds that it was built over three hundred years ago (1703) by Conrad Weiser on land given to him by Shikellamy, Chief Representatives of the six Iroquois nations which inhabited the region. Others say that Samuel Auchmuty, a Revolutionary War Officer built the inn in 1791 as the eastern terminus for a ferry operated by Adam Fisher who lived across the river on the Isle of Que. The community surrounding the old building hence became known as Fishers Ferry.
Over the years many romantic myths have become entwined in the lore of the stone building. William Penn's grandson, John, is said to have been reunited here with his long lost wife, Marie Cox, taken captive into Canada many years earlier during an Indian raid near Harrisburg and discovered by him in an upstairs room, just minutes before she died in his arms.
In the years to come, this historical stone building continued to serve the community as a hotel, ferry house, post office (1854), and railroad station (1857). To date, this wonderful building of mystical history is known as Penn's Tavern. A favored stopping place for weary travelers from near and far, where the fine dinning atmosphere and historical ambiance refreshes each visitor. As it takes you back in time where we can only imagine the historical events that took place.
