Picture Caption
This home on Route 20, opposite Route 395, now called Random Acres, was built in the late 1700's. Known as the "Old Hoag Place", this 1919 photo shows resident Charles Brown with Howard and Wade Brown showing off their teams of horses. (Photo from Duanesburg Historical Society 1994 Calendar.)

An old guest registration ledger from the 1920's through the 1940's lists the names of many travelers who stayed at the tavern. Names of people from as far away as Kansas and Missouri to the west and Maine to the east, as well as Toronto, Ontario, Canada can be found all through the ledger.
