Dill's Tavern
The recent acquisition of Dill's Tavern at 227 North Baltimore Street, Dillsburg presents a new challenge to the Society. We look forward to an exciting time of fundraising and restoration of this historically significant structure. We are planning to restore the building to its period condition for use in educational and community programs.

It began around 1742, over 30 years before our nation was founded, when Mathew Dill arrived from Monaghan, Ireland and acquired 504 acres here, near a spring. Sometime around 1750, his son, James built a simple square 2-story stone structure, though it was grand for its time and place. In fact, no other buildings in the area outside of the towns of York and Carlisle could boast such a treasure.
