Heating and air conditioning. Flat screen TVs. It’s history in a cozy setting year round.

Circa 1834, The Burn is the historic home of the John Walworth family for more than 100 years. The only exception was the three years that Union forces occupied the home as a hospital upon evicting the Walworths. The original dining table is still in the home, as is the original china.
