Although the stone in the front of the building reads 1859, the first liquor license was granted August 17, 1727. The petition was signed by twenty-six citizens, most of whom were Uwchlan residents. Prominent citizens gathered at the public house because it was by a major road. Eagle Tavern became a popular spot because it was built on the fork of two main roads and near a church. The location on the original license says, "Half way between Chester and Conestoga on the Kings Road." After the tavern was established, it encourage the growth of a village which they called Eagle. Although we are Eagle, our mailing address is Uwchland 19480. The original building was torn down in 1799 and a building named "President Adams" became its replacement. Local patrons still referred to it as the Eagle, so the owners reverted back to its original name. Some famous patrons were the Doan brothers, and Captain Fitz. The tavern also was known as Spread Eagle, The little Eagle, and the The Eagle Hotel, still referred to by many local people. In 1923 a new concrete highway was opened from West Chester to Pottstown. New people come to our area and want to make changes, but our building continues to stand erect as car after car goes past and history continues... The present owners have been here since 1976, seeking pleasure in serving lunch and dinner as well as an occasional drink or two to our many friends and acquaintances. Today with our new laws, this doesn't apply, but a quote by Walter DeMop: "Die I must but let me die drinking at the Inn."
