Historic Interest

In 1830 this house originated as a mercantile shop, operating during the last 6 years of President James Madison's life. The house was once owned by one of President James Madison's grand-nephews, John Madison Chapman. During one of the Civil War skirmishes that were fought in the town's streets, according to local legend, a Confederate soldier died on the porch steps of the Holladay House. The Holladay Family owned this property for 101 years and ran their general practice out of the main part of the home.

Holladay Family's Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Pete tried many biscuit recipes, but these are the best -- and it's still being used for breakfasts today!

A Very Fine Inn

My husband and I have traveled from Florida to Long Island for nine years. We always stay at B&Bs. The Holladay House is truly one of the finest.
