Description:
Gladstone Tavern was originally built as a farmhouse in 1847 by Andrew Rarick. He’d be happy to know that he left his mark, as his signature was discovered on a main supporting beam during our recent renovation. By the turn of the century the farmhouse became a familiar stop on the stagecoach route to Morristown; an addition was added and it opened to the public as the “Gladstone Hotel,” with a tavern on the first floor. Shortly after World War II, the hotel was purchased by the Somerset Hills Elks Club and served as their meeting place for decades. In 1971 the “Willow Tree Inn,” a tavern and rooming house, opened. A few years later the Karner Family opened “The Brass Penny.” They added a new dining room, kitchen, terrace and our beloved antique horse statue crowned “Sir Pennysworth,” that resides on our porch today. Chatfield’s opened in 1989 as a popular bar and restaurant featuring live music until closing on New Year’s Eve, 2002. It reopened in mid- 2006.
