BLUE BALL TAVERN (Paoli, Chester County)

BLUE BALL TAVERN (Paoli, Chester County) The Inn was named the Halfway House when it opened in 1735 on the old Lancaster Road but it was popularly called the Blue Ball because of a pole outside the tavern that had a blue ball that would be raised or lowered to indicate if the hotel was full or not. It became the King of Prussia in 1752, and five years later a new owner gave in and officially called it the Blue Ball. Priscella Robinson took over the reins about 1800.
