Specialties

Logan Inn, located in beautiful New Hope, PA was established as an inn in 1727. The Logan Inn is the oldest continuously run inn in Bucks County and one of the five oldest in the United States. An intimate luxury inn, The Logan Inn has sixteen spacious guest rooms, each furnished with colonial period pieces and antiques.

Dining is available in the lovely Colonial glass enclosed porches or in the cozy Fireside Room which features an imposing stained glass wall created by local artist Val Sigstedt. In season, alfresco dining on the tented patio offers a wonderful spot for people watching, New Hope style. Stepping into the tavern, located in the oldest section of the building, is truly stepping back into time. The tavern remains open late and selections from the menu are available there. This careful blending of the old and the new has made The Logan Inn one place where «the best of yesterday and today mingle beautifully.»

There are different accounts of this event — one that the Indian was Chief Logan and that the sign was paid for by a subscription of the townspeople in his honor — another that the identity of the Indian was never mentioned and that the sign
