The Tavern

The original portion of the Inn dates back to the pre-stage coach days, circa 1787. Sitting on the northwest corner of the Village, it is a cream stucco frame building (old log tavern) with a center stone chimney, which was known as Barbee’s Tavern. The tavern was in operation during colonial and Civil War times and had a thriving business. The tavern has wide pine flooring, exposed American Chestnut interior logs, and 3 stone decorative fireplaces. During the War Between the States, wounded soldiers from the First and Second Battles of Bull Run were taken to the Tavern. It also served as headquarters to both the Union and Confederate armies.

Today, the Tavern is the anchor of the Hume Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
