Built by John Heavin on the Wilderness Road in 1796, Lovely Mount Tavern served as an inn. A settlement grew up around it that included a general store, blacksmith shop, saloon, and homes. William Baskerville acquired the property in 1827 and operated a post office there from 1836 to 1837. Dr. John Blair Radford purchased the property in 1842, and the post office returned from 1849 to 1888.
