History & local legend
The Evansburg Inn is an early nineteenth-century fieldstone inn on Germantown Pike in Montgomery County. Travelers once stopped here along the road through Evansburg, and later ghost stories tied the building to another supposed use: a military hospital.
In the account collected by Delaware County Paranormal Research in 2005, one of the inn’s apparitions is a wounded soldier who appears to be in pain. Local storytellers associate him with the hospital tradition. A second figure is described as a Native American man.
