Originally named Blinn's Inn the structure was originally built in 1849 by Edward Blinn created Knowlton's first public establishment offering accommodation, food and beverage. Located in the heart of Knowlton, Blinn’s Inn was succesfull because the old-time stagecoach route from the Bolton Pass to Gilman’s Corner passed before the hotel doors. Around 1851, Mr. Blinn sold the Inn to Albert Kimball, who changed the name to Kimball’s Hotel and the Knowlton Stage House. For many years after that , two generations of Kimballs dispensed hospitality on this ever-popular corner.
The Inn has surely been witness to a range of characters over the years! Destination Knowlton extends congratulations to Auberge Knowlton hoping that such prominent exposure will enable the establishment to complete the minor renovations that have been "in progress" for many months!
