The history of this building can be traced back to 1672 when Mary Willets built a two-room house on this site. That home is now in the middle of this larger building.
Over the years, the rest of this building grew around Mary Willet's original construction.

It was mostly used as a home, but there's evidence that it was also a restaurant in the late 1700s for a time.
And more than 80 years ago, it was converted into a restaurant again, and it has been one ever since; however, it stays true to its colonial decor.

In other words, when you dine at the Milleridge Inn, you'll feel like you stepped back in time.

The current owners have also added shops to the property and their design also matches the colonial theme.
