History of the Historic Eureka Inn

The history of the Eureka Inn has included many changes over the last 200 years and the blending of these additions was so perfect that the hotel appears to have been built all at the same time.

• In 1797, Robert Mitchell and his wife Harriett purchased “Lot #19” from the Town of Jonesborough to construct a private residence.
• In 1851, William Henry Maxwell purchased the home and had a “jury room” in one of the large bedrooms that still serves as a meeting room today.
• In 1869, Laura Gosnell purchased the property to be used as a private residence and boarding house.
• In 1900, Peter Miller and his wife Harriett opened the Eureka hotel to offer hospitality to travelers and business people.
• In 1910, J.R. Russell purchased the Inn and added the first bathtub with hot and cold running water.
• In the 1950's, a restaurant, grocery store, and a taxi cab business had taken over the ground floor.
• In 1997, the hotel is restored back to its days of glory and offers the best of past and present.
