The Wakefield Inn & Restaurant, nestled in the picturesque Village of Wakefield Corner, is one of 27 historic homes on the United States National Register of Historic Places. The Wakefield Inn & Restaurant, formerly known as the Spiral Staircase Inn and The Elmwood Inn dates back to 1804. The Inn was originally built as a home for Seaman William Frost who wanted to own the largest, tallest (3 stor
ies) and grandest home in Wakefield. In 1890 the home was converted to an Inn where guests, for many years, were transported to the Inn by stage coach. Wakefield Corner was considered the center of town because of the 6 stage coach lines and in 1895 the railroad began providing transportation for the Inn's guests from Wakefield's 5 train stations. The home features an amazing flying spiral staircase, the original stage coach door, a 3 sided fireplace with beehive oven in the dining room, a very large picture window overlooking the picturesque back gardens and a lovely wrap around porch where guests can relax and enjoy a wonderful view of the village. Today, the Inn is operated by Province Lake Golf under the leadership of General Manger Sabin Beckwith. He and his team share a passion for entertaining and the philosophy food and drink are meant to be shared. We arrive to create a dining experience you can't wait to get to and are in no hurry to leave. We reopened the Inn not he 3rd of July and had our first public dinner service July 5th.
