The Weathervane Inn began as a farmhouse in 1785 with the original fireplace serving for both heating and cooking as it boasts a beehive bake oven, rarely seen today, but a necessity in bygone days. As with many New England homes, there have been many additions to the farmhouse. In 1835 the Greek revival high ceilinged addition was completed. Its wide board floors and spectacular mouldings are unique reminders of the skill of long-ago craftsmen.

The Inn has been included in the National Register of Historic Places.
