The 1796 House History

In 1796, the year George Washington delivered his Farewell Address, Middlebury & Vergennes were two of the largest population centers in the state, each vying to become the Capitol of the new State of Vermont. It was at this time Moses Stow, an Ethan Allen Green Mountain Boy, left the militia and with his wife Mary Elector, built this stately home and tavern in New Haven, Vermont.

It was under their son, Loyal Stow, that the home prospered as the L.W. Stow Hotel, a popular stagecoach stop, New Haven’s library and the center of town government. The 1796 House really became the crossroads of the two communities.

Loyal and his wife Jane had one child, Alice Victoria, who grew up here during the many changes of the Industrial Revolution in 1800’s. When Vermont’s new Burlington & Rutland railroad crossed the farm, Alice was there to wave as the first train went by. Alice married Edson A. Doud, closed the hotel and together they operated a 250 acre dairy farm.

For 167 years this house remained home to the Stow & Doud families. The house was converted back to a restaurant by Mr. Benner a former police officer from New Jersey. Along with his wife’s good home cooking, he ran a successful bar & restaurant until they retired to Florida. Mr. & Mrs. Hodson are responsible for the beautiful restoration of the restaurant in 1986, but sadly closed the doors after just 3 years in business. After this beautiful home sat idle for 4 years, we discovered it with our three children while camping on our first visit to Vermont. We fell in love with its history, romance and beautiful views, knowing this was the perfect location for our dream. We hope you enjoy your stay as our guest and return soon .
