The Woodstock Inn in Vermont can be traced back to 1793, when Captain Israel Richardson built one of the first lodgings, Richardson’s Tavern. It changed ownership in the decades after and was eventually renamed The Eagle Hotel. Jump forward to the late 19th century when a new Woodstock Inn was constructed on the site of the original. Then in 1967, Laurance Rockefeller bought the inn, tore it down, and rebuilt an entirely new property. Today, it’s a luxury resort with five elegant restaurants and a wood-paneled bar, called Richardson’s Tavern, after the original inn, where visitors can enjoy its many cozy nooks, fireplaces and comfort food.
