Hill's Tavern is a historic building in Scenery Hill, Pennsylvania. It was heavily damaged by a fire that started shortly before midnight on August 17, 2015.[4] For a period in the early 1900s, the inn was known as Central Hotel.[5] Now called the Century Inn, it has been claimed to have been the oldest tavern in continuous use on the National Road,[5][6] until the fire brought an end to its 221 years of continuous operation.[7]
