Finished in 1848 by John Fowler, Drovers Inn required three years of skilled craftsmanship to build its three floors and sixteen original rooms. Around 1850, Mr. Fowler opened up the inn to travelers and drovers who were moving their goods along the toll pike. At Drovers Inn they could expect to receive food for themselves, green pasture for their accompanying livestock, and a bed to rest upon. The inn served this purpose for many years. It was purchased by Mary Marko in 1965 and the restoration of the aging brick and wood structure began. The inn was then converted into a restaurant in 1967 and was purchased and reinvigorated by its current operator and owner, Mark Cooper, in 1986.

     Drover’s Inn houses four dining rooms: the Blue Room, Red Room, Sitting Room, and the Back Section.The Back Section of the restaurant was completed in 2003. It holds 36 customers and on its walls reside famous 60’s and 70’s magazine covers that recall nostalgia and important events. This room also has two televisions for sports fans and the younger crowd to enjoy while eating. Also completed in 2003, the service bar (in the right side of the above picture) is fully stocked to provide a legal beverage to those waiting for a table or to-go order.
