Brief History of Bells Tavern in Park City Kentucky

Bell's Tavern located in Park City Kentucky was originally built by Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel William Bell and became well known for the hospitality of its owner.

In the 1820s, three major roads met at this spot, and at this crossroads, Bell built a small inn and tavern so the stagecoaches could stop, and weary travelers could find aid and accommodations. In a relatively short time, a saloon and store were built near it. But nothing would overshadow its brightness.

The first structure was a rambling wooden affair, added to from time to time as the patronage grew, and was noted far and wide for the hospitality dispensed by its owner, Col. Bell. Service was lavish, and the fare testified to the epicurean taste of the owner. Col. Bell himself prepared his favorite appetizer, a homemade peach brandy and honey, a beverage of exhilarating potency, and he was very generous in dispensing it. Coffee was served from a silver coffee pot that was carried from table to table by Bell’s favorite slave, a timeless old gentleman named Jim, who had server=d both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in his youth.
