1. 1856 Marker
This location has continuously been a tavern since 1856, when Catherine Hoeflich opened a tavern-boarding house-grocery.
In 1886, the original building was moved and Samuel Hoeflich constructed this brick building. Hoeflich's Tavern was the first in Miami County to serve cold beer which was chilled and pumped up from the basement.
