History & local legend
The Old Village Inn in Morgantown, Berks County, is a sandstone building developed in sections around 1800 on the town square. Its two-and-a-half-story facade and arched dormers overlook Main Street.
During its restaurant years, the second floor was said to be empty, yet passersby reported a person at a window looking down toward the street. A separate version of the inn's lore described two former guests, a man and a woman, walking its halls.
