Beaver Creek Tavern was formerly known as The Fisherville Inn, the King's Highway Inn and Bacon's Tavern. The Tavern is situated on a small portion of the old Mendenhall-Valentine lands (former Penn Grant), on which four mills and several farms stood along Beaver Creek and The King's Highway from colonial times.
The building was built in 1845. It is unclear when the building was converted into a tavern, although it is tempting to romanticize and picture Miss Graybill, the owner during Prohibition, running a speakeasy from 1928 until 1939.
Stories circulate that the old building is haunted by a woman and a young man. A local paranormal group has been onsite to investigate.
In 2010, local ownership returned when Stuart Deets, born and raised in Fisherville, and his nephew, James Dickinson, purchased the property. They changed the name to Beaver Creek Tavern in honor of the creek across the road that supplied power to all of the mills in the area.
