History

Established in 1945.

In 1765, the first resident of East Hill Farm lived in a dugout cave, near the present day skating rink, where nightly fires were kept burning to ward off mountain lions and wolves which roamed the area. Soon the resident married, built a log cabin, and cleared the land for farming to provide for a family of ten children. From its initial stages, East Hill Farm has been accustomed to many children.

In the mid 1800’s the Inn took on its first paying guests who were farmers from nearby Massachusetts. These farmers would drive their cattle to the Inn’s 180 acre property, to graze the pastureland for the summer, whereby the farmers, for a mere seventy five cents, would stay overnight at the Inn, and enjoy two hearty meals, before returning home.

The early 1900’s brought about a barn raising and new additions to the main inn. After World War II, cottages were built, and a swimming pool was added, where the emphasis of the Inn was to provide for a family getaway with activities appeal
