This year’s participating restaurants included Lily’s On Main, The Black Horse Restaurant, Sweet Encounters, Doneckers Restaur ant, Akron Restaurant, Country Pride, Sunset Diner, and food pre pared by the Woman’s Club.

It’s difficult to fathom that tile flooring could weather the abuse of centuries of use as a tavern, as a inn, a large family, and now as a bed and breakfast But the handsome tile floor with its unique pattern demonstrates the artistic abilities and accomplished craftsmanship. Marble fireplaces, 38 antique hooked rugs, stenciled armoirs in almost every room, . A Carriage House has been turned into multi level guests rooms with lofts. Although Jucuzzis and modem conveniences have been added, the rooms maintain a primitive coun try look. Hand-loomed rags are draped in unusual ways across the walls. Ice boxes and televisions are disguised within handcrafted wooden cupboards. Unusual anti que pieces and accessories help create an aura of both serenity and historical significance.
