Tavern

McPherson's Tavern (site)

Old National Pike
Mount Airy, MD 21771

From Searight's The Old Pike (1894):

Seven miles west of Poplar Springs Van McPherson kept a tavern, which did an extensive business. The proprietor was half Dutch and half Irish, as his name imports, and he had the faculty of pleasing everybody. His house was a brick structure on the north side of the road, and is probably still standing. Van McPherson kept this house from 1836 to 1842, and made money in it.
