In 1799, the Holland Land Company offered lots 10 miles apart in what is now Clarence, New York, to any proper man who would build and operate a tavern upon it . A young silversmith named Asa Ransom, had been plying his trade in the little fur trading post on the shores of Lake Erie. He was among the first to accept this opportunity and in the hollow of the ledge, near a pine grove, built a log home & tavern. In 1803, he built a grist mill, the first in Erie County. Over time, the business has evolved into a charming inn noted for it's authenticity, hospitality and cuisine. Ingredients:
