And innkeepers, once you get them started, will usually be delighted to talk about their own inn's history. We're no exception -- when we bought Brook Farm Inn, in Lenox, Massachusetts, we immediately went to the local library's history room, and the courthouse, and the local Historical Society, to research our Victorian building. We wrote the history and posted it on our website. Recently we've had guests from two separate families, whose relatives had owned our property! And they found us through the history on our website. www.brookfarm.com/history.html.
