Fairfield Inn, historic inn in Fairfield, Pennsylvania
The Fairfield Inn is a historic hotel in Pennsylvania built in 1757 and continuously operated since then. The building houses cozy guest rooms with traditional decor, larger suites and parlors, as well as dining and tavern spaces for meals and refreshments.
The building was founded by Squire Miller in 1757 and became an important place in early Pennsylvania settlement. During the Civil War it served as a hospital for Confederate soldiers, and it also played a role in the Underground Railroad helping enslaved people reach safety.
The inn served as a gathering place for travelers and townspeople for centuries, reflecting how lodging houses were central to early community life. Its tavern and dining spaces reveal how people socialized and conducted business in colonial and later American settlements.
The inn requires guests to climb stairs as rooms are located on the second and third floors without elevator access. The staff is willing to assist with questions about accessibility and can help accommodate special requests.
The property contains a hidden room that once sheltered escaped slaves during their journey to freedom, now standing as a reminder of this history. The original Maria Furnace built by Thaddeus Stevens also remains on the grounds.
