Our History A Historic Heritage and Generations of Hospitality Gathering at Wades Point Inn has been popular for over a century. At the end of a long scenic country lane, Wades Point Inn welcomes you with its sprawling lawn, beautiful shade trees, balconies and screened porches. It was named for Zachary Wade who received the land grant in 1657. In 1890, the Kemp family added facilities for summer guests and Wades Point Farm became a popular summer resort and guest house. It remained so for close to 100 years. The present owners, Betsy and John Feiler, arrived in 1984 and in 1990, named the new annex, the ""Mildred T. Kemp"" guest house, for the gracious woman, ""Miss Mildred"", who managed the Inn for sixty-three years. With its picturesque, historic setting the Inn is ideal for couples or families. Artists, writers, weddings, executive retreats, and seminars are also welcome. The 80 acres of farmland is farmed organically as it was in the 1600's. Come and gather eggs from the 300 or so free-range chickens or watch the goats being milked. Whether jogging, walking, or birdwatching, we hope you enjoy our nature trail.
