Older than the country it sits in.
The stone building at the corner of Broad and Main went up in the early 1700s, and in 1752 Elisha Parker was granted the first tavern license in Trumbauersville. That makes this room twenty-four years older than the Declaration - and it has been doing the same honest work ever since.
Early 1700s
The stone goes up
Fieldstone walls are raised on what will become Broad Street - a building made to outlast everyone who drinks in it.
1752
The first license
Elisha Parker receives the first tavern license granted in Trumbauersville. The fire has not really gone out since.
1752 - today
Two hundred seventy years of last calls
The town grows up around the tavern. The name on the sign changes less than the century outside the window does.
Now
Same stone, colder beer
Half-pounders on the flat top and the game on over the bar, with a 4.1-star welcome from a few hundred neighbors on Google.
Locals say it is the kind of barroom where the stool remembers you - and where the burger arrives bigger than the story you were in the middle of telling.
