Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleIt certainly doesn’t look haunted. In fact, it’s a totally charming picture of quaintness with an abundance of flowers and sparkling fountains everywhere you look. The Buxton Inn is an historical treasure, said to be the oldest continuously running inn in Ohio, dating back to 1812. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the inn is currently celebrating its 200th year in operation. Some of the illustrious guests who have stayed here include John Philip Sousa, Harriet Beecher Stowe and William Henry Harrison. Old photographs of hoop-skirted ladies on the upper balcony are a fascinating piece of history. Current owners, Mr. and Mrs. Orville Orr have run the inn for 40 years, and are now ready to retire.
There are 10 total structures; 5 of which are finished and used as the inn and 5 are private homes. The total square footage of all the buildings is 29,349. Well loved by everyone for miles around as well as tourists, there are two restaurants, one for formal dining and celebrating occasions, and an informal tavern. According to reviews, these are heavily popular with a large repeat customer base.
If ghosts really do exist, what better place than a 200-year-old inn that is so old it welcomed stage coaches, celebrities of their day, and likely a few with more questionable reputations? One apparition is that of the man who built the inn, Orrin Granger, and also the later owner for whom the inn is now named, Major Horton Buxton. There is a cat they say you can feel jump on the bed with you, and a woman dressed in blue. Maybe they stick around looking for great restaurant leftovers after it closes late at night.
