James Burk's Inn

The Burk Inn was built in 1765 and is now in need of some repairs. This page is dedicated to sharing

The original structure of the James Burk Inn (Jimmy Burk Inn) was built in 1765 by Sir William Johnson for his surveyor, Robert Picken. In 1788, the building was relocated to its present location at 200 South William Street and opened as inn by James Burk. The Younglove family purchased it in 1812 and owned it until 1925. It was purchased at that time by the local chapter of the Daughters of the A

merican Revolution Society. In 2014, the Johnstown Historical Society received the title to the James Burk Inn.

A little update from the Inn…
Hello all this is Bernadette. I don’t usually speak to you in the first person, but this post is a bit different. I have had the deepest pleasure spending time with you on here sharing stories and photos about the Inn, its past and all the exciting events going on now. I have also thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Inn and all the amazing people I met there. The Christmas event was my absolute favorite, and I would spend all year working in it!
The Inn captured my heart and will always have a place there - and I look forward to seeing all the wonderful things that will continue to happen in this building! As it so happens, it is my time to pass the torch and move on to some other adventures (life is like that), but I will keep a close eye on the Burk and be leaving her in good hands. She needs a lot of attention, but is totally worth it!
Please note that the Christmas event is posted on the Johnstown Historical Society page.
All the best to all of you- and say hi to Betsey when you visit!

Oh and -Tammy, “tag, you’re up!”

Cheers!

Although the news was received this morning, I have spent all day trying to figure out just how to word this…and am still not not quite certain to go about it. I share the news of the passing of Johnstown Historian Noel Levee. Our sincerest condolences to his family at this difficult time.
Noel was such an incredible person, so full of knowledge and stories and laughter. He was always generous with his time and his love of history was infectious and inspiring. He loved his community and his family, and his reenacting family. I have had the honour of growing up knowing Noel and his family and have been deeply influenced by his example and friendship. I can even say he is in large part responsible for my becoming a reenactor.
Noel will be so deeply, deeply missed and so fondly remembered. His legacy will live on.
And we will raise many a glass and many a tune in his honour here at the Inn.
Rest in Peace,Noel. We owe you many, many thanks and count ourselves blessed to call you friend.

Today at the Inn, we mourn the passing of a cherished friend, but we shall also celebrate his memory.
Paul Supley spent many happy hours with us at the Burk and sharing in so many adventures- sewing, visiting, and making chocolate (oh the chocolate!). This picture, taken during our first Christmas event, has always been a favorite of mine, and it is just how I wish to remember him- smiling and sharing his love of all things historical 🙂
Rest in Peace,Paul. The Inn will raise a toast in your memory.
