Home is where the heart is and our home is open to your hearts.
Kathy Buczek, Proprietress, a wife and mother of 4, has made special effort to ensure that The Temperance House retains its historic charm, grace, elegance and where hospitality is paramount.
Rich in history:
The Temperance House began in 1772 when Andrew McMinn first opened the Inn. Union General Francis Murray made the Inn his lodging during the Revolutionary war. And the site began the gathering place for those fighting for the colonists’ cause.
During the 1840’s Chillion W. Higgs a member of the Newtown Temperance Society became the new proprietor. He dubbed the Inn “The Sign of the Good Samaritan” and served only mineral water, ginger beer and lemonade; a far cry from today’s full-service bar.
The Temperance House welcomes you with service and quality that is never compromised.
