Property Description
Welcome to the former Danforth Inn! Take a trip back in time to 1780 as you look at this extremely original old building that was built in Weathersfield Bow in 1780 by Gideon Lyman. In 1789 Joseph Danforth moved to the Bow and he leased and then bought the Inn, changing the name to the Danforth Inn. This property will need some love, but it has never been spoiled in its originality, and it's just waiting for someone to bring it back to its former glory days! And the barns? They are beautiful! The really nice full basement under the large barn has very pretty and straight stone foundation and the cow stanchions are still in place! The backyard is private with lots of space for family fun. The 39 acres goes way back up behind the house with an old town road (unmaintained and unused) bordering the property line for easy access. Great for riding horses or for any other outdoor recreation you desire! The "Danforth Inn" would make a beautiful country bed and breakfast, a produce or farm stand, or whatever your dreams might be. Or make it a fabulous home where you can feel like you are reliving the past of 200 plus years ago! This is a rare opportunity for you to own a genuine piece of Vermont history!
