Tavern

Roger's Tavern (closed)

Formerly/Also Known As Bracken's Tavern, Wilson's Tavern

872 Old National Pike
Centerville, PA 15333

Now a private residence.

From Searight's The Old Pike (1894):

The first old tavern kept in Centreville was by John Rogers, father of the venerable Joseph T. Rogers, of Bridgeport. It is a brick house, on the north side of the road, still standing. Robert Rogers succeeded his father in this house and kept it for many years, and died in possession. At brief intervals in the lifetime of Robert Rogers this house was conducted by Solomon Bracken, son-in-law of Mr. Rogers, and a Mr. Wilson, the latter occupying it but for one year. The Rogers House was known and noted throughout the entire period of the road's prosperous era as a quiet, orderly, well kept tavern.
