Thank you to everyone who stopped by the inn last Monday for our Memorial Day program! Special thanks to the Anderson American Legion for placing flags at the Fanthorp Family Cemetery.

Our staff and volunteers had a great time playing whist and dealing faro. If you're interested in learning some period card games you can always swing by the inn and twist our arm into teaching you!

Fanthorp Weather Service

The Fanthorp Inn is proud to offer our patented weather service, the only one with 100% accuracy. If we are ever curious about what the weather is like, all we have to do is check our handcrafted reproduction tavern sign.

If the sign is bright and shiny, that means its probably toasty warm.
If the sign is wet, that means its probably raining.
If there's icicles hanging from the sign, its probably really cold.
And if the sign is blowing sideways...hold on to your hat and be grateful Fanthorp put in in a cellar!
