One, known as Hartman's Tavern, near Woods Run, was presided over by Mrs. Hartman, a genial hostess, who '. . . set an excellent table, served the best home-made wines, and her guests were free to roam in the five acres of ground planted with trees and shrubbery, or to rest in the favorite termini for sleighing parties.' A similar establishment was the Mt. Emmett Hotel, situated farther beyond the western suburbs of the town, where Hugh Sweeny played 'mine host.'"
