An unexpected delight on our trip. Gen. Gates and the Marquis de Lafayette both were in this exact building. Wonderful work has been done to preserve this sweet historic spot. Our tour guide, Barb B., was personable and really quite exceptional and made the tour completely unique.

The museum wasn't open when we stopped by, but the German four-square house garden in the back was self-guided with an interpretive pamphlet available.

The Golden Plough Tavern was built by Martin Eichelberger in 1741 and is a two-story, Germanic influenced medieval style building. The tavern is quite significant for its age and social history but is also an exceptional museum of historic carpentry and vernacular architecture. The ground floor wall construction is a rare type which blends timber framing with log building. These walls are framed and the spaces between the posts are infilled with hewn beams, each beam fitted into its own mortise, and the gaps between the beams chinked with stones and mud like a log cabin.

I can't add any details to Rachel. Made my first visit to them in April. Very important buildings in the Revolution. They were owned by my ancestor 1751 to 1771.
Not in the last 150 years. This is a historical building from the War of Independence ( American Revolution). There are 2 bars/ taverns that have active liquor licenses within 500 feet of the Historical Complex.
