Since 1913, it has been owned and maintained by the Schoharie Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution." ( visit link) " It was built by Johannes Lawyer, III, and originally named the Fountain Town Tavern, after the original name for Schoharie which was Fountain Town. The inn ran successfully and changed hands several times prior to being purchased by Chester Lasell in the early 1800's. In 1855, the inn closed and the house was enlarged to accommodate room and board for students attending the Schoharie Academy (at a tuition rate of $200 per year). In 1913, the heirs of Joseph M. Lasell deeded the tavern property, then vacant, to the Schoharie Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. "
