How many of you just drive by or walk by the historical markers that you see while traveling without taking a look at them? We used to be guilty of that! About 12 years ago we started looking for them in our own hometown and when we travel. These historical markers contain bits and pieces of accurate historical information that you often don't find in a history book.
While on a road trip through Hanover in York County, Pennsylvania we came across the McAllister Tavern historical marker. Here's the information.
McAllister Tavern
Here, along the Monocacy Road, Richard McAllister erected a two-story log building and opened a store and tavern. In 1755, Benjamin Franklin was a guest at the Tavern. Old building was razed in 1950.
Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission
You'll find it located on Baltimore Street in Hanover, York County. You can easily pull over along the side street. Park and get out to photograph it for your waymarking records. While you're here...check out all of the Pennsylvania Historical Markers that we've documented so far.
