Bedford, Pennsylvania
Background History
The Jean Bonnet Tavern was built by Robert Callender, a trader with the Native American tribes of Pennsylvania. Callender
acquired the land in 1762. Later the land and building were purchased by Jean Bonnet in 1779 and opened as an inn, which
was used as a gathering place by protesting local farmers during the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion, suppressed months later by
forces under President George Washington.
There have been many hangings over the years at the Jean Bonnet Tavern ranging from spying to stealing horses. Haunted
activity over the years at the tavern and inn have included apparitions seen, voices heard, people being touched and objects
seen moving on their own.
