Time Travel: A Past Order from the Bavarian Inn and Revisiting Fire that Hammered Downtown Salem
By Dick Duez on August 10, 2025 from History Blog
The Bavarian Inn, shown here featuring its beef stew lunch special, occupied this familiar barn-shapped building that also housed the Millstone Restaurant. Since then, numerous businesses have occupied the space. Can you name some of those past businesses as well as its current occupant? Feel free to add the details below.
This fire, which happened not quite 20 years ago - on March 3, 2006 - in the City of Salem, destroyed many long-standing structures. Fire units from across the region responded to help put out the massive blaze.
