| Description |
View of "Dickies" tavern in Great Falls. This was also known as "Dickeys Inn" at Matildaville – now Great Falls, Virginia. Also known as "Dickey's Farm House", and earlier (1802) as "Meyers Tavern." I'd guess the photo is late 1800's; the tavern burned in 1950. "For about 165 years this inn stood near the Great Falls, an original part of the vanished canal town of Matildaville, established in 1790. "Dickey's Inn, named after the last family that ran it until it closed in 1935, is believed to be the same building in Matildaville owned and operated by the widow Meyers in 1802, and built even earlier. Meyers Tavern was a place of refreshment for canal boat runners and visitors. Reputedly, U.S. presidents from George Washington to Theodore Roosevelt ate in this whitewashed building. |
