In 1845, a gentleman named Benjamin Wood bought some land from the town of Weston and built a beautiful two story, federal styled home.  Through the years, the house changed owners several times -- one of which was David Holladay, who lived in the Woods home until the late 1800's.  It is believed that he lived at the house and ran the distillery while his brother Ben ventured west and gained fame from the Overland Stagecoach Company.

In the 1930's, the Woods' home was converted into a boarding house.  Quite often, due to the inexpensive rent, newlyweds and young couples occupied the apartments.  As time passed, many of these young couples conceived and had their children while living here.   Consequently the townspeople coined the phrase "The Hatchery" for the "hatching" of the babies.

Glen and Jolene Payne purchased "The Hatchery" in 1985 and decided to renovate and restore the structure to its original form.  After several years of hard work and determination, their work and dream, was complete.  They decided to open the home to the public in the form of a bed & Breakfast.  It has only gotten rave reviews from the guests who have stayed here.

The present day innkeepers have named each room after someone who has had a significant part, present or past, in this marvelous antebellum home. We invite you to come experience the warmth and tranquility of both "The Hatchery House, LLC" and Weston.

We welcome you,
