In 1799, Asa Ransom, a silversmith was the first to take up the Holland Land Company's offer to build and operate a tavern in the hollow. In 1853, the Asa Ransom House was built on the site of Asa's log tavern.

On the grounds guests can view the ruins of the first gristmill in Erie County, also built by Ransom. Visitors can enjoy a tour of the nine inn guest rooms and the interesting herb and flower gardens outside.
