Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor
In 1895, people from Pittsburgh could find refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city in Ligonier. At this time, Mr. Wiliam J. Potts, Ligonier's first Mayor, built a Victorian residence on this site for his wife Jessamine. It was the first home in Ligonier with indoor plumbing. Then in 1927, Mr. and Mrs. James Calderelli, Sr. purchased the house to incorporate as a restaurant, bar, and lodging for weekend visitors. Since it was located on the Lincoln Highway, the establishment was called the Lincoln Hotel and Restaurant. Since that time the building received many renovations through two family generations. The Ligonier Tavern continues to offer Lincoln Highway hospitality and fine food and spirits to travelers and residents.
