Eagle Tavern & Inn

Description

Although the stone in the front of the building reads 1859, the first liquor license was granted August 17, 1727. The petition was signed by twenty-six citizens, most of whom were Uwchlan residents. Prominent citizens gathered at the public house because it was by a major road. Eagle Tavern became a popular spot because it was built on the fork of two main roads and near a church. The location on the original license says, "Half way between Chester and Conestoga on the Kings Road." After the tavern was established, it encourage the growth of a village which they called Eagle. Although we are Eagle, our mailing address is Uwchland 19480. The original building was torn down in 1799 and a building named "President Adams" became its replacement. Local patrons still referred to it as the Eagle, so the owners reverted back to its original name. Some famous patrons were the Doan brothers, and Captain Fitz. The tavern also was known as Spread Eagle, The little Eagle, and the The Eagle...
