Bonnet Tavern

History
12
At the junction of the Forbes and Burd Roads, this inn was operated from 1779 to 1815 by Jean Bonnet and his heirs. In mid-1794, during the Whiskey Rebellion, embattled farmers met here and raised a liberty pole to protest the federal excise tax on whiskey. That October, troops called by President Washington camped here on their march west to quell the insurrection.
