Richardson's Tavern is a historic Erie Canal inn and tavern located in the hamlet of in Perinton, Monroe County, New York. Believed to be the only remaining establishment from the canal's earliest years,[2] it dates to about 1818 when it was a stop on the stage coach route along the Irondequoit Valley and Irondequoit Creek, between Rochester and Canandaigua.[3] Several expansions occurred during the 19th century. The tavern operated as a hotel until 1917 when it was converted to four apartments. In 1978, after having been abandoned since 1972, it was converted for use as a restaurant, Richardson's Canal House.[4] The restaurant opened on Valentine's Day 1979.[3] It has become one of the most noted restaurants in the county,[3] and has even garnered nationwide recognition.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
