Le White Inn — The White Inn

The property later known as The White Inn was first owned by Nathaniel Treadwell, then sold to Eden Johnsen and to his son Chauncey. William Moody, a builder who bought the land in 1824, is believed to have built the house. Around 1843, William Coffin settled there and remained until 1863. The house and its 170 acres then passed to the O'Brian family from father to son. John O'Brian and his wife Susannah turned the large house into a guest home called The White Inn and operated it until 1950, when it was widely popular with travelers. An old advertising pamphlet gave its affordable rates as rooms at a dollar per night per person and meals at seventy-five cents or à la carte. In 1972, David Christie's family took possession of the former White Inn.
