THE NAZARETH INN 1771-1772 The Nazareth Inn, hostelry, started in 1771 and com- pleted in 1772, is probably one of the oldest Inns, from a historical viewpoint, in the U. S. A. It was constructed by early Christian's Spring sett- lers and for the 509 days carpentering, felling and squaring timber, blocking up and laying floors these men received a total of four hundred and sixty-nine pounds, eighteen shillings and three pence, in Penn- sylvanià currency. It was 'on the 30th day of March 1772 that John Lischer, of Mennonite parentage, a native of Hilzhof, Margraviate of Wittgenstein, farmer, and Mary Cath- arine, m. n. Loesch, a daughter of George Loesch, (a son of Balzar and Susan Philippina Loesch) of Tul- pechocken, his wife, were installed at the Inn, in the capacity of landlord and landlady. During these olden days two stage coaches left the Inn daily, one for Easton and the other for Bethlehem and it was here since 1785 that parents and visitors for the young gentlemen attending the famous Naza- reth Hall would gather year after year on "Examin- ation Day" to witness the contest for academic honors between their children or wards, found a temporary home, a clean bed, forsooth, and always a good dinner. Although The Inn has passed thru many changes since 1772, incident to Inns revolve acceptably around the patronage and favor of a fickle but discriminating public, the wide-spread reputation gained in the past has been retained to the present day.
