(Long Island, NY) Nassau County Legislator Judy Jacobs and Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto will join local community leaders at a press conference and ribbon cutting ceremony announcing the reopening of the old fashioned bakery at the shops at the historic Milleridge Inn. The ceremony will take place on Tuesday February 9, 2016 at 11:30am at The Milleridge Inn. This is part of the new Inn Keepers multi-million dollar restoration of the historic structure to keep it alive after it was nearly shut down. The bakery has been part of the community for generations serving as a favorite spot for breads, cakes, pastries, cookies and more.
For generations of Long Islanders, the Milleridge Restaurant and Village has served as a steppingstone for an introduction to our colorful American History. The main building of the inn was constructed in 1672 and was soon after operating as an inn and tavern, meaning it is one of the oldest continually operating food establishments in the U.S. The Milleridge Inn also has an important part in the history of our nation; during the American Revolution, the owners of the Inn were forced to quarter, or house, British and Hessian soldiers. The Milleridge Inn has survived the turmoil of war, the expansion of Jericho Turnpike from 1815 onwards and the increasing pressures of suburban sprawl and urbanization. Local patrons that have been going to the Inn and employees working their for decades will be attending the special news conference.
