The G.W. Reed Travellers Home is a historic house and former inn in the Benton Falls village of Benton, Maine. It is a two-story wood-frame building, constructed about 1813, with an older house attached as an ell to the rear. It was built by David Lane, and served as a stop for travellers on the road running on the south side of the Sebasticook River, and as a meeting point for local militia.[2][3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
