Since the Inn is under new ownership and will no longer operate as an Inn, we will sell from the premises on the above date the contents thereof along with others. Built in 1813 this Federal masterpiece has operated as an Inn and fine French restaurant, where for many decades so many of us enjoyed an evening of fine food in the tranquil, country elegance of the Home Hill Inn.
