The site where the Hanover Inn is today was once home to a Darmouth College administrator, General Ebenezer Brewster, in the late 1700s. Brewster turned his home into a tavern in 1780, and the transition into today's Hanover Inn began.
Just like nearby Dartmouth College, the Hanover Inn has a classic design and is rooted in tradition. The surrounding area is just as beautiful as the stately brick hotel, since the Appalachian Trail is nearby.
