Trainmaster
Inn is a beautifully restored Queen Anne style Victorian home
located in the heart of the Historic Center Street District
in Dennison, Ohio. This treasure was built in 1904 during Dennison's
railroad heyday. Today, its original beauty shines through with
its hardwood floors, stained glass windows, grand staircase,
period wallpaper and antiques.
Escape to the nostalgic Homefront era of the 1940s when Dennison
was nicknamed "Dreamsville, U.S.A.", and troop trains
stopped at the Dennison Depot for free coffee at the Servicemen's
Canteen.
The Trainmaster Inn is located within walking distance to the
Dennison Depot where the Homefront hospitality still greets
visitors with a smile and a free hot cup of coffee. Explore
the Depot Museum, enjoy a meal at Trax Diner, shop in the Whistle
Stop Railway Shop, or treat yourself to a sweet treat at the
Dreamsville Ice Cream & Candy Shoppe. The Dennison Depot
plays host to several special events throughout the year, such
as the Polar Express, the Annual Dennison Railroad Festival
and the Christmas Tour of Homes.
Also within walking distance are two locally owned and very
popular Italian restaurants with their roots in Dennison railroad
history - The Dennison Yard and Pangrazio's Pizza and Pasta.
A short walk and you will also find the Holy Grounds Cafe.
There are plenty of activities and adventures to discover during
your stay at the Trainmaster Inn.
Nearby attractions include the world famous Warther's Carving
Museum, the J.E. Reeves Victorian Home, and three Ohio Historical
Society Sites: Schoenbruun, Zoar Village and Ft. Laurens.
Your travels can also take you to the Little Switzerland of
Ohio in Sugarcreek and Holmes County's Amish Country. Wineries
abound with such favorites as Breitenbach Wineries, Rainbow
Hills Vineyards, Ravens Glen, Swiss Heritage Wineries and Silver
Moon Wineries.
But don't stop there! Trainmaster Inn is only a half hour ride
from the Football Hall of Fame to the north, and Roscoe Village
to the west.
In March of 2006, owner and proprietor, Greg DiDonato began
the restoration of the Trainmaster Inn and brought it fully
back to its glory in October of 2006. Once the exterior siding
was removed, the intricate Victorian woodwork was revealed.
All damaged wood was replaced with painstaking reproductions,
original lighting and hardware were also restored. The house
features a historically correct Victorian paint palette and
gardens, and overlooks the Historic Center Street Gazebo and
Bicentennial Heritage Park. During the summer months, free Friday
night concerts are held at the Gazebo.
