The Fairfield Inn, dating to 1757, is one of America's oldest, continuously operated Inns. In its 248 years the Inn has hosted famous personages such as Patrick Henry, Thaddeus Stevens, Generals Robert E. Lee and J. E. B. Stewart, and Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower. Joan and Sal Chandon, proprietors, perpetuate the Inn's gracious tradition. After the Battle of Gettysburg, the Confederate Army, retreating west through Fairfield, stopped to eat at the Inn.
