The original structure located 62 West Main Street dates back to the early eighteen hundreds. Between 1925 and1927, major renovations and additions were completed by the Redcay Family, owners of the Adamstown Hat Company. The wrap around porch was added at that time. The Bermans purchased the property in 1988. After seven months of extensive remodeling and renovating, the Adamstown Inn opened for business in 1989.

In response to an overwhelming request for additional guest rooms, the Berman's purchased a second property in Adamstown - the Amethyst Inn. This structure dates from 1830's with the most recent additions during the 1870's. Tom and Wanda are painstakingly restoring both the interior and exterior. They have chosen to clad the exterior of the Amethyst Inn in seven colors creating their second Victorian Painted Lady.

Architectural elements including gingerbread, wooden quoins (corner blocks), medallions, and detail features are highlighted in amethyst, gold, lavender, and forest green with a magnificent nine foot high intricately carved front door.

From the Pennsylvania Turnpike, take exit 21, to Route 272 North. Go 2½ miles to the second light and turn left on Willow Street. Go one block and turn right on Main Street. The Adamstown Inn is four doors down on your left.
