The Tom Quick Inn occupies a pair of late-Victorian buildings on Broad Street in the borough of Milford, Pike County, Pennsylvania. The Terwilliger House was built in 1880; the adjoining Centre Square House followed in 1882. In the 1940s the two were combined under a single operation and given the name Tom Quick Inn.
The naming honors — or invokes — Thomas Quick, an 18th-century frontiersman from the Delaware Valley whose biography includes the killings of Native Americans, with historical estimates ranging widely. A monument to Quick stood for decades in central Milford and has been the subject of repeated petitions calling for its removal or the renaming of the inn. The conversation about Quick's legacy is ongoing in Pike County.
The inn today is part of the Milford Hospitality Group portfolio. It functions as a boutique hotel and full-service restaurant, with rooms reflecting the original Victorian architecture and a dining room serving regional cuisine.

The reports gathered at the Tom Quick Inn fall into a small, consistent set. Housekeeping staff have described returning to rooms that had been turned and made, only to find the bedding pressed and creased as if a person had laid down briefly and gotten up.
Employees have reported hearing their first names called from elsewhere in the building, with no source identified when they investigated. A specific guest room — unnamed in public sources — is referenced as the focus of more vivid accounts, including reports of a bed shifting position during the night.
The inn does not market itself as a paranormal destination. It appears in regional folklore round-ups (FrightFind, hauntedplaces.org) but the property's own marketing emphasizes the boutique experience and the restaurant. The activity reported here is small-grain, domestic, and not associated in sources with any documented on-site death.
Stay in this Victorian boutique inn assembled in the 1940s from two adjoining 1880s hotels — the Terwilliger House and the Centre Square House. Staff have reported finding made beds rumpled as if slept in, and guests have described their names being called when no one was present.
Dine at the inn's on-site restaurant, open Tuesday through Saturday evenings. The 19th-century building anchors the historic Milford streetscape and is a longstanding fixture of Pike County hospitality.

Hanford, CA
The Irwin Street Inn & Restaurant at 522 N. Irwin Street in Hanford, California was built in 1886 as part of the Victorian-era development of Hanford, the Kings County seat. The property comprises four Victorian houses arranged around a courtyard, with antique furnishings and period stained glass windows. It was converted to its current use as a restaurant and inn around 1980 and has operated under multiple owners since.
Bedford, PA
The Jean Bonnet Tavern has operated along the Lincoln Highway in Bedford, Pennsylvania since the 1760s, making it among the oldest continuously operating taverns in the commonwealth. In 1794, the building served as a gathering point during the Whiskey Rebellion, one of the first challenges to federal authority in the new United States. The building also served as a waypoint for troops during the French and Indian War period.
Bisbee, AZ
The Copper Queen Hotel was constructed between 1898 and 1902 by the Phelps Dodge Corporation to accommodate investors and dignitaries visiting its Bisbee copper mining operations. Completed in 1902 and predating Arizona's 1912 statehood, the hotel is the oldest continuously operating hotel in the state.
