Nellis Tavern, NYS Route 5 East, St. Johnsville, NY

Nellis Tavern

Built in 1749 as a residence for Christian Nellis, this building originally faced the Mohawk River and the Kings Highway. As early as 1783, it had evolved into a public Tavern, and by 1801, included a store. The main entrance was changed to face the Mohawk Turnpike, now NYS Route 5. Nellis Tavern has some excellent examples of early American folk art stencils. The Tavern is being restored under the auspices of the Palatine Settlement Society.
