The tavern was first sold to a local farmer and merchant called James Bishop, which was then purchased by one of his visitor and guest, General Merrit Heminway, in 1840 and moved to its current location “Echo Lake Road.” He converted it to a boarding place for the employees of his factory.
Joseph Daveluy who was from Canada purchased the place in the 1920s and added a large dining room to the structure to open a restaurant. But it was not until 1932 that he transformed the place into a local hot spot to eat, drink, and relax. He then sold it to Matt Deziel after running it for almost 90 years.
