Inn at Fowlerstown, also known as Drover’s Inn, is a historic hotel located near Wellsburg in Brooke County, West Virginia, United States. The inn was built between 1848 and 1851, and is a 2½-story brick building in the Greek Revival style. The property also includes a two-story log house (1820) and frame cottage that pre-date the inn. Contributing outbuildings are a small clapboard well house, chicken coop, and privy. Before 1938, the inn housed a general store and post office that served the small village of Fowlerstown. The village grew up around along Washington Pike at the grist mill established by William Fowler.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
