Historical Tour of Dill's Tavern

Dill's Tavern is a twelve room stone structure erected from 1794 to 1819. The Dill family (Dillsburg's namesake) maintained a tavern in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, beginning in the 1750s and the present-day tavern was one of several business ventures carried on at this site. A large farm, a mill, and a productive distillery kept family members, indentured servants, hired hands, and some slaves busy. Regular shipments of whiskey produced in the distillery were sent to Baltimore. Matthew Dill was a friend of George Croghan, the famous Indian negotiator, and members of the Dill Family fought in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. In 1800, the Eichelberger family purchased the plantation and kept the tavern open until the 1830s. In time, the structure became a store and eventually a residence.
