Dills Tavern is a twelve-room structure erected in three phases from 1794 to 1819. The Dill family maintained a tavern in the area beginning in the 1750's, and the tavern was one of several business ventures carried on at this site. A large farm, a mill, and a productive distillery kept family members, indentured servants, hired hands, and some slaves busy, with regular shipments of whiskey from the distillery sent to Baltimore. The Eichelberger family purchased the plantation in 1800 and kept the tavern open until the 1830's. In time, the structure became a store and eventually a residence, and it is the oldest structure standing in Dillsburg Borough.
