Old Pollard Inn

Built about 1790, the Old Pollard Inn later served as a stage coach inn. James G. Blaine was a frequent guest while he was a teacher at Western Military Institute, Drennon Springs, in 1850-51; he later became a Congressman, Senator, U. S. Secretary of State, and a candidate for President in 1884. Gen. John H. Morgan and Capt. T.H. Hines, Confederate raiders, found shelter here on Dec. 1, 1863, after escaping from prison in Ohio.
