Accommodating strangers was difficult until the Brethren built the first tavern in 1757. This tavern served until 1775, when the new tavern was opened on the east side of the extensive community gardens. The old 1757 tavern partially collapsed very soon after being vacated.

"Many people come here to buy and sell, some remaining overnight with us, and some at the mill."
Wachovia Diary, January 13, 1757.

"Last night again one of the most unruly companies of hunters was in our Tavern. They have several times recently given much trouble, but this time kept fairly well within bounds, and left this morning."
Bethabara Diary, January 14, 1763.
