In 1775 John Bear built his Catfish Wayside Inn on the Lancaster – Reading Turnpike (Oregon Rd). For the next 200+ years, the hotel has been host to travelers and local residents. In the hotels history, it has served as a courthouse, jail, church, and distribution center for cattle.

The well in the lounge dates back to the 1739 building, which burned down in 1771. The last week of September in 1777, the hotel hosted many weary Philadelphians who were part of the 700 wagon train on its way Lancaster transporting the continental congress. Among those who watched the wagon train were John Luther Styer who lived In a log cabin where the garage now stands. John Styer helped row George Washington across the Delaware just 9 months previously. He would be remembered in Emanuel Leutz’s painting of the event.
In 1859, the Oregon Territory became a state and the tiny town of catfish and the hotel changed their name to Oregon to celebrate the event.
In 1935, Obie Miller purchased the hotel from the Wacker Brewing Co. Obie knocked down the stone wall on the east side of the building to increase floor size.
In 1984, the present owners extensively remodeled the building. They tried to blend some new things with the old. Be sure to note the hand dug well which dates back to 1739 in the lounge area. The stained glass and the wood in the back raiser is from the Lancaster courthouse when it was being remodeled and the wheels of fortune are from Rocky Springs Amusement Park.
