Notes: The William Penn Inn is located at 1017 Dekalb Pike in Lower Gwynedd, Pennsylvania. The Inn started out as a Public House in 1714, became a licensed Tavern in 1827, and later was renamed the William Penn Hotel. In 1900, the building was extensively renovated with the addition of a third story, and in 1920, was purchased by Nicholas deWilde. Under deWilde's ownership, the venue reopened as the William Penn Inn with a gala celebration in 1924.

In 2011, the William Penn Inn remains the "oldest continuously operated country inn in Pennsylvania." Click here for a detailed history of this landmark.
