Sightseeing in Scotch Plains, New Jersey

Stage House Inn became a stopping place for the Swift Sure Stage Line. In 1775, the center of Scotch Plains consisted of 11 houses including the inn. In 1794, a gala time was held at the old inn when the township of Westfield, which then included Scotch Plains and Fanwood, was set apart from the township of Elizabethtown. The documents were signed and sealed right in the old tavern by well-known citizens: Marsh, Osborne, Laing, Swan, Clark, and Darby. Today the Stage House Inn is run as a high-end restaurant.   (This webpage provides some general history of Scotch Plains.)
