From the travel guide, we learn:
BOSWELL'S TAVERN, a story-and-a-half frame building with large end chimneys, was praised by the Marquis de Chastellux, though he said that the Innkeeper, Colonel Boswell, 'a tall, stout Scotsman . . . appeared but little prepared to receive strangers.'
---- Virginia - A Guide to the Old Dominion State, 1940.
The tavern is now a private residence only viewed from the highway. Located on Hwy VA22 just east of US15.
