The Robert Morris 1710 America's oldest Inn

Spring is upon us again and like the other seasons, has its unique charms. Color starts to appear as bulbs peak through, the smell of fresh cut grass on the air and picket fences get a fresh coat of paint  .  .  .  Spring has sprung!

Shop in St Michaels and Easton and return to the calming comfort of The Robert Morris Inn and peaceful historic Oxford, each evening.

TAP is back, with a new season in Oxford.

Once the home of Robert Morris who gained fame as "Financier of the Revolution". General and later President George Washington was a close friend and visited Robert Morris often. In more recent times author James Michener outlined his famous novel, Chesapeake here. More history is located here.
Now the Eastern Shore's most unique historic restaurant with rooms under celebrity Chef Proprietor, Mark Salter.

Enter the Inn and step back 300 years: a pristine yet historic interior welcomes with timber beams, panelled walls and open fires in the cooler months. Through to Salter's Tavern featuring historic red brick walls and old slate floors, with magnificent fires in the cooler months and offering casual outside dining on our Terraces and Veranda during balmy warm summers.
This is a truly historic Inn, cosy with a natural patina running through. Friendly, great cuisine and understated professional service.

Oxford was chosen by readers of YACHTING as the 2011 Best Town in the World!

Oxford itself is one of the most unique towns on the Eastern Shore.

So conveniently to St. Michaels, Easton, and Cambridge. Learn more about our history at The Oxford Museum and about vacation activities and options at Talbot County Tourism.

The Oxford-Bellevue Ferry, believed to be the oldest privately operated ferry in the United States, makes the trip across the Tred Avon River to Bellevue, every 25 minutes during the season.
