The Blue Bell Inn is no stranger to wel- coming guests - it’s been doing just that since 1743. Its original name was the “White House,” where lodging was offered to traveling hunters.


Throughout the years, the property has hosted important guests, including George Washington, who stayed at the inn during the American Revolutionary War. An added touch and an everlast- ing symbol of the venue is the renowned blue bell design, which was added over the property in 1796.


While it switched hands throughout history, the Blue Bell Inn was reopened as a restaurant in 1967. It stood as one of the first fine dining restaurants in the area, gaining a great reputation. The establishment became known as a family favorite in the 1990s, which is during the time Scott Dougherty, cur- rently a co-owner of the Blue Bell Inn,

Planners can choose from 12 private dining rooms that are uniquely deco- rated, from the more traditional in design to rustic-meets-modern style. A wide range of dining spaces provides the opportunity for planners to find the perfect complement for holiday parties, corporate functions and more. Its pro- fessional staff and a menu consisting of culinary classics are sure to make the meal a hit with attendees.
