GrayBarns on the Silvermine River

About GrayBarns on the Silvermine River

Once very popular as a village meeting place, Graybarns also served as an artist outpost, and stagecoach stop from the 17th century to present time. What is now GrayBarns on the Silvermine River began as a small textile factory at the turn of the 19th century.

It became a speakeasy during the 1920s before legitimizing itself after the end of Prohibition. It thrived throughout the 1960s as a classic country inn under the management of the Whitman family, who ran it until 2009. The tavern itself which now houses the Inn has been renovated back to its stately structure of classic influence, with its ample porches and tall columns, situated on a bluff overlooking the mill pond and river. Alongside the dam or waterfall is the Old Mill and Mill House, used throughout the years as a grist or turning mill.

Our property is home to a variety of unique event spaces situated along the Silvermine River, providing a stunning backdrop all year-round. We look forward to curating a truly bespoke setting for your special occasion.
