The Log Inn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Log Inn is a old-style restaurant located in south central Johnson Township in Gibson County, Indiana, less than 1/4 mile from Vanderburgh County. It was founded around 1825 by Mr. Henry Haub. During its lifetime it saw use in a variety of ways from being host to Abraham Lincoln to being a stop on the Underground Railroad to a stop on the Dixie Highway, the main road between Chicago and Florida, which eventually became US 41^[1]. A dance hall was later also built above the tavern and store, and the complex would later become known as The Log Inn, the areas famous restaurant. The Log Inn is officially recognized as the oldest restaurant in Indiana.^[2] In recent years, The Log Inn was featured in Food Network's Best of Viewer's Choice Program, Episode BE1F15^[3].

The Log Inn is located one mile east of U.S. 41 in Warrenton, IN at the intersection of County Road 1250 South and County Road 200 East. Overhead View - Wikimapia.org
