Blue Ball Inn Est. 1747

Welcome to the website for Brucetown, Virginia’s historic Blue Ball Inn. Also known as Littler’s Tavern, the BBI was originally built in 1747 by quakers John and Mary Littler.  Since then, it has changed hands several times serving as a public house, farm, private residence, and multi-family complex. 

Over its 250+ year history, the Inn has borne witness to epidemics, wars, and personal tragedies, weaving a unique and complicated past. While no longer operational as an inn, the BBI is under renovations to become a community events center. Current offerings include private paranormal investigations, guided group investigations, community archaeology, and more.
