OUR STORY
Welcome to the Robert Morris Inn, America's oldest full-service inn; with roots tracing back to its original construction as River View House in 1710, our unique structure has served as a welcoming Inn for weary travelers since 1800. Within these historic walls, where red brick fireplaces once set the stage for passionate discussions on independence from Britain and negotiations over sugar, tobacco, and fine French wine, history truly comes to life. The inn’s locally-sourced wood paneling and sturdy oak timbers remain as they were over three centuries ago, offering guests an authentic step back in time.
​
In the centuries since, the inn has become a gathering place for visionaries, including the celebrated author James Michener, who found inspiration here for his novel Chesapeake. Today, the Robert Morris Inn stands as one of the Eastern Shore’s most distinctive historic inns and restaurants, offering guests an inviting and timeless ambiance.

Our dedicated team welcomes you warmly, with friendly and professional service that makes every stay special. Savor our thoughtfully curated menu of local cuisine at Financier Restaurant, crafted with the freshest ingredients and a commitment to excellence. Join us for an unforgettable experience that celebrates the rich heritage and stories of our region.
