Program: Josh Filbert introduced Jane Ann Petty, W. M. Watson Hotel Owner.

Jane Ann said the hotel is doing good business. It apparently is getting a good reputation since many people want to come back after staying there.

She and her husband have worked hard re-storing the hotel to a beautiful, useable, attractive condition. The historical record of the hotel adds to the interest in it.

It is believed that Lincoln stayed ther, and since it was build during the time he practiced law here, is directly across the street from the Pike County Court House, it is quite possible, but yet to be proven.

You can get more information from their brochure, going to:

W.M.WatsonHotel.com on the internet or also on U2

Very excellent information Jane Ann....and the addition of the W.M.Watson Hotel to the business community on the square has been a real plus to Pittsfield.
