John Hagan's Tavern 1790

Braddock Mountain-- The old tavern sits along the highway headed out of Frederick just a bit beyond I70. A beautiful fieldstone structure that served travelers along this road for centuries. As the sign indicates, it is up for lease. I muse that it is a result of our recent economic recession. Above windows and doors are the ancient oak pieces: 4x4 or so. The interior has hurricane lamps on tables and chandeliers hang from the ceiling and the floors may be original, and certainly appear to be very old. I shall by a lottery ticket today. And should I win I will lease and reopen this old tavern as a refuge for the romantic and perhaps even a lodge for this old soldier along General Braddock's Highway.
