Stag Inn

Fun Facts

Frederick Cozzens visited the inn on a June day during the late 1850s. He described it as a “little, weather-beaten house”, with strawberry banks in bloom and surrounded by a rocky lawn “rescued by the labor of a quarter century.” Cozzens and his local travelling companion changed their horse for William Dear’s pony and trap, in order to do a day’s sightseeing to Chezzetcook, about 11 miles away. Afterward, “A savory odor of frying bacon and eggs stole forth from the door as we sat, in the calm summer air, upon the stone fence.” (Frederic S.
