  • Notes 
    • Mrs. Adam DeBrusk, a resident for 41 years, said that the present Nicholson Tavern had been owned for a great many years by her uncle, Isaac Hertel. It was later run by Mrs. William Nicholson, and is now operated by Howard Reiss. There is an old walnut tree in the hotel's back yard from which many visitors to Blair have enjoyed pickled walnuts.
