Crichton's Inn was a summer retreat a few hundred yards from where the Norfolk & Western Railway tracks cross Route 104. It was on a hill on the west side of the highway and furnished an excellent view of the Scioto River valley. The Inn was owned and operated by William Crichton, a native of Scotland and a steel mill worker in the late 1800's and early 1900's. It closed in 1919.
