Experience Luxury & Fine Dining at Sheppard Mansion

HANOVER, Pa., May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When Kathy Sheppard Hoar decided to take on the task of remodeling Sheppard Mansion, she didn't realize how extensive it would be. But she could imagine how it would turn out. Built by her grandfather in 1913 as one of the twin mansions in Hanover, Kathy's dream was to restore the home to its original beauty, and she has indeed done just that. The home was transformed into an elegant inn and restaurant, plus it operates as a wedding venue, a beautiful backdrop for stunning celebrations. This unique travel destination is not far from Gettysburg and is in the heart of Hanover's historic district. The Carriage House Market nearby offers local crafts, gifts and foods for sale to guests and visitors.

Every guest who enters Sheppard Mansion finds themselves transported back to a time of graciousness and luxury. The polished wood on the staircase, glittering chandeliers and period pieces make this a memorable experience that exudes peace and tranquility. Visitors can choose from six sumptuous guest rooms for their stay.

The Inn has also become a food destination. Chef Andrew Little prepares his own style of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine using beef that is raised on the Sheppard Mansion farm and vegetables fresh from the Sheppard Mansion garden.  The "farm to table" menu makes the best use of seasonal foods and Chef Andrew prides himself on putting his own touch on traditional dishes.

"This certainly was a labor of love," said Kathy Sheppard Hoar. "We have come so far, and now the inn is fully restored to how I remember it as a child. We are so fortunate to be able to share this treasure with guests from the mid-Atlantic region and beyond."

Sheppard Mansion is a full-service inn and restaurant offering elegant lodging and dining located at 117 Frederick Street in Hanover, PA in the heart of the historic district.
