    […] could’ve visited the Nellis Tavern on my own during regular hours, but then I might not have met a sixth-generation Nellis family […]

      Hey Christina–I’d recommend getting in touch directly with the Palatine Settlement Society, which calls the Nellis Tavern home. It’s a historical society for the area, and one of the members is a Nellis herself. They have a lot of info that would help. Here’s their website: http://www.palatinesettlementsociety.org/

    It is wonderful that the Palatine Settlement Society is restoring this beautiful Land Mark. What stories those walls could tell if they could talk. I wonder if any ghosts still prowl about during the night? The Nellis Family and the Fox Family had several marriages together over those olden times (1760-1780). I do not descend from that Fox Family but I have several Palatine Ancestors all over Upstate New York in both the Hudson River Valley and Mohawk River Valley.

    Hello In Grimsby we have the 1780 Nelles Manor.At one time there was a bake oven beside the large fire place.Would you have any pictures of bake ovens in the Mohawk area?
