This historic building was a stagecoach stop and inn over 125 years ago. Reports of the sounds of footsteps, smell of hickory smoke, and the sounds of agonized breathing. One legend that tries to explain the origin of this phenomenon is about 3 unfortunate travelers. Supposedly one of these three men was tortured by the landlord of the property many years ago when it was still a stage coach stop and inn. The landlord had discovered that then men had a large amount of gold with them and he wanted it for himself. Two of the men escaped but the 3rd was tortured for answers. Supposedly the tortured mans heart gave out and he died. Some versions of the legend say that the men buried the gold on the property and it may still be there.
