The History of Glasbern - A Historic Hotel of America

Glasbern’s property dates to 1787 when the original tract of land was warranted to Malchoir Siep, a local farmer who, along with his family, worked the land for nearly 80 years.

In 1870, Joel Mohr purchased the property and built the spring house, the first building on the property. Over the years several barns and a family home were added.

Decades later, in December 1985, Beth and Al Granger purchased the original 16-acre farm that had been abandoned for 13 years following the death of the previous owner, William Kirschner. They began a meticulous renovation project to create a welcoming historic country inn for guests and group gatherings. Beth Granger died in 2006, but her vision of hospitality and farm fresh culinary offerings continue.

In January 2024, the David Jaindl Family purchased Glasbern from Al Granger. They are proud and excited to continue the legacy of this historic property.
