History

Originally known as the Packhorse Inn and dating back to 1648, this is the oldest structure to the West of the Susquehanna and was reknowned for its rum. Situated at the northwest corner of the ground where the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers meet at Duncan’s island, the inn at Amity Hall was located where a system of canals met in the 1800’s and served as a respite for many weary travelers. Charles Dickens himself once visited the area.
