The Ship Inn Restaurant in Exton to Become a Microbrewery
The Ship Inn has four dining rooms that can accommodate 180 people. It also has a deck, a bar room, and a fireplace. It will retain its character as a restaurant, but the new owners plan to bring new brews to the area.
The Ship Inn is a historic landmark that dates back to the late 18th century. Originally, the Inn was built as a rest stop for travelers on the Lancaster Turnpike, now U.S. Route 30. During its heyday, it served as a western milepost to Philadelphia, and guests included dignitaries such as George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Jackie Kennedy Onassis. It was a popular stop for travelers, but today it attracts a diverse mix of diners and drinkers.
