History
In 1768, Samuel Lewis, an early miller of Franklin Corners in Basking Ridge, built a barn and water-powered gristmill on the Passaic River on land originally acquired from William Penn. Richard Southard bought his grandfather's farm in 1777. The small wooden mill supplied flour, meal and feed to the Continental Army encampment at Jockey Hollow, Morristown during the winter of 1779-80, with the barn used to store its supplies. Hence, where the grain was stored is today's "Grain House Restaurant".

In 1929, William Childs purchased the property and converted the structure to an inn. In 1930, the structure was moved across Route 202 and meticulously restored without touching its solid frame. Remnants of its past are seen today: the William Childs Dining Room was once the machinery room; the Grain Room is the former grain storage area; the Coppertop Pub was the horse stable; and the second floor dining rooms were each a bent in the towering haymow.
