Moravian Sun Inn

Sun Inn

A Moravian inn opened in 1758, where George Washington, John Adams and other founding figures once stayed.

The Sun Inn was built in 1758 as a lodging house for visitors to the Moravian community. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington, John Adams and Lafayette all stayed here. Today it has been restored as a small history museum, where volunteers explain colonial-era inn life, and the ground floor often hosts events. Opening hours are limited, mostly on weekends, and admission is a few dollars. It sits at the northern end of Main Street and is within walking distance.
