Dating back to the late 1700‘s, this may be the oldest western stagecoach stop still in existence in the USA. Today it offers five guest rooms, all named after the notable figures to have stayed at the tavern (which has gone by several different names during its history, including the Old Stone Tavern).
Located at the heart of bourbon whisky country, both Louisville and Lexington are within reasonable driving distance of the hotel.
Among the famous guests who have stayed here were the young Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Daniel Boone, General George S. Patton, Washington Irving, and exiled French King Louis Phillipe in 1797. Jesse James is also reputed to have partaken of too much liquor while here.
Unsurprisingly, the Old Talbott Tavern is also reputed to be haunted.
