Slippery Rock Things to Do Tips by VeronicaG

Old Stone House

Before departing Slippery Rock, we made plans to tour The Old Stone House. This former 1822 tavern is located a few miles outside the town and four miles from The Apple Butter Inn. Unfortunately, we arrived a week after it had closed for the season: May 1-October 31

While taking the flagstone path to the front porch, an aged sign posted with THE RULES OF THE TAVERN could be seen propped up next to the front door:

4 pence a night for bed
6 pence with pot luck
2 pence for horsekeeping
No more than five to sleep in one bed
No razor grinders or tinkers taken in
No dogs allowed in the kitchen
Organ grinders to sleep in the wash house

An old springhouse sat below the pathway leading from the porch (pic #2). All looked snug and secure for the cold weather ahead!

Hours are Saturday from 10am-5pm; Sunday 12Noons-5pm. Seasonal.
