Hooffinfeathers Carriage Inn was originally built in 1760. In that time, it was a popular stagecoach stop known for its hospitality toward passengers traveling up and down the east coast. Food and beverages were served in "Old Acres," the house behind the stables. After burning to the ground early in this century, the stables were renovated for pub use, and still exist today in the restaurant as our bar. The fireplace within the bar was constructed from the stone used as the stall walls in the stable. Today many patrons still warm themselves against the New England cold as they did years ago. The original wooden planked floor in the bar shows wear and tear of many years of service. Many of the original additions made to the stables still remain in our dining room. The fireplace still stands within an original stone interior wall accented with its old English red brick exterior. The hallway to the restrooms still lies uneven, mainly due to stone left in its original foundation. Our sober patrons may fare worse than the tipsy ones as they make their way down this bumpy path! Outside, old stonewalls still border the property lines.

It wasn't until the 1970's that the original "Old Acres" became "The Carriage Inn." It was then that the several antique carriages and coaches, which can still be seen today, were bought to be displayed in a glass-encased room above the restaurant. Most recently, the Moscatelli family had been running the Carriage Inn since 1981. Today, in this new millennium and with a new vision, Hooffinfeathers Carriage Inn is owned and run by author and chef Linda Wadensten. Still offering traditional hospitality, character and charm, we invite you to become a memory in time. Whether it be dining, banquets or just a visit, Hooffinfeathers Carriage Inn welcomes you to become part of a timely tradition of fine food, hospitality and service.
