A tan historic building with green shutters and a columned porch stands along a brick sidewalk, shaded by large trees and marked by a streetlamp flying an American flag.

The Swift Sure Stage Line went from Philadelphia to New York, stopping at the Stage House Inn.

Historical Marker Database

 

The old center section of the Stage House dates to about 1737. Its roadside marker recalls innkeeper Recompense Stanbery raising a troop of Jersey Blues at a Liberty Pole in front of the inn. Here, the public house became a recruiting ground, and the pole made political allegiance visible in the village. The tavern’s history reports that General Marquis de Lafayette spent time here.
