Near our home in Ellwood City, Pa., are roads that would have been identified as routes of transport during the Revolutionary War. The roads connected Pittsburgh to Erie where Admiral Perr's Fleet was located during the War of 1812. (Well, not actually admiral.)
There are many locations such as Rachael's Road Road House near Grove City that displays a house that George Washington visited.
In those early days, local taverns and public houses or pubs provided lodging, food or drink from inclement weather. Libations were originally a convenient means for combating the winter chill and a "wee-nip" could break the bone-chilling cold.
