History
John Calvert was granted the land that the tavern stands on in 1682 by William Penn. Daniel Calvert, likely John's grandson, built a frame building along the Providence Great Road (now Pennsylvania Route 252) and was licensed to run a tavern there in 1739.
The current building is a large 2 1/2-story, fieldstone building, built in 1809, on the site of the earlier frame structure. A stone addition was built in 1836.[2] The tavern was moved about 100 yards from its original site when PA-252 was widened.[3] During 2011 the building was renovated and now houses the Brandywine Conference & Visitors Bureau.[4]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1971.[1]
