“One of the most beautiful and interesting of the old stopping places is the Headley Inn which provided lodging and refreshments for the westward tide of immigrants for 30 years. The Headley Inn (?) half a century away over rooms (?) with fragrant apples and cider and huge heaps of wool. When people came back to the highways in motorcars, the Headley Inn was restored to its original use and became famous along Route 40 – the National Road – for its food and lodging. The Headley Inn was made famous nationally when pictured in one of the great mural paintings in the State of Ohio exhibit at the Chicago World’s fair in 1933.
The 9 room Headly Inn was built in 1802 and was enlarged in 1833 with a two-story addition on its east side. The stone walls are constructed of huge blocks of dressed sandstone. The original building consisted of a large basement kitchen built into the slope of a hill plus three rooms opening onto a porch. After the National Road was built, Uzal Headley enlarged his house to accommodate the traveling public. He began to operate the inn and secured a tavern license on April 28, 1834. The date stone in the inns addition reads 1835. The east room on the ground level was the Barroom, furthest from the living quarters. When railroads were developed, tavern keeping on the stagecoach roads became profitable and traffic along the old highwy ceased. The little towns that had been so propsperous (Pike Town) went to sleep and inns were closed, either converted into dwellings or destroyed.”
