Lucas Tavern stood 2800 feet north of this point, just west of Line Creek on the Federal Road. Moved to Montgomery in 1978 to serve as the Visitor and Information Center for the Old North Hull Historic District, it is the oldest remaining building in Montgomery County. Its original proprietor, James Abercrombie, ran it from about 1818. Walter B. Lucas announced his takeover of the tavern in the January 6, 1821, issue of the Montgomery Republican. A four-room frame building with a long central hall, its most famous guest was Revolutionary War hero the Marquis de Lafayette, who stayed here on April 2, 1825, during his triumphant tour of the United States.
