Additional Details:
Let us tell you something of the story of Mill Race Inn. Built in 1842, the main or stone room as we call it was the village Blacksmith Shop built adjoining the mill that farmer's horses might be shod while other errands were being done. The thick stone walls and deep reveals indicate its age. The location was the called Herrington's Ford. Perhaps you wonder what a Mill "Race" is and why the place is so named. A Mill race is that part of a stream or river diverted to go over the mill wheel, turning it for the power necessary to keep the machinery going, This names was given to our Inn when the 100 year old building was turned into the present Mill Race Inn more than 38 years ago whose hospitality, scenery, and food is for your enjoyment.
