Description:
Built in 1826, by a wealthy millionaire,
It has served as a tavern, stagecoach stop, and a private residence
and is now one of Waterbury Vermont's most well-known historic Inn.
In 1890, the Old Stagecoach Inn underwent its first character structural
transformation "from New England Federal to Victorian, an aspect
that was meticulously restored in 1987 as an example of country elegance,"
which can be seen in great detail in its elegant parlor or in the cozy
library bar.
The Old Stagecoach Inn has three
floors. In the downstair area, there is a large parlor with original
antiques, and the rooms throughout the inn also have era antique sofas,
easy chairs, organ, tapestries, and oriental carpets. The second and
third floors, where the guest rooms are, there are 8 uniquely different
rooms, and 3 more modern suites with TV, Cable, eat-in kitchen alcove
and private bath.
History of Manifestations:
During the 1920's- '40's, the Old Stagecoach
Inn was the private residence of a wealthy socialite, Margaret Spencer.
In 1947, Margaret died at the age of 98, in her beloved home, in her
own bedroom, which is now room 2.
As Margaret Spencer loved her home
so much, she didn't go on to the other side, but instead decided to
hang around her old bedroom, room 2, appearing to startled guests, wearing
a white shawl.
Still Haunted?
Margaret Spencer has no plans in
leaving and the living has made no effort to make her do so. She seems
to be willing to share her room with the living, though the living may
be a little unsure about sharing a room with an unseen / seen presence.
