The Inn at the Round Barn
Beat the cottage cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until it appears whipped. Add the eggs and flour and mix until the wet and dry ingredients are combined. With the mixer running, add the melted butter. (This should form a thicker batter. Test a small amount of batter on a hot greased griddle or skillet. If the batter seems too thin, stir in a small amount of flour to thicken.) Spoon 1/4 cup for each pancake onto a hot greased griddle or skillet. Bake until golden. Flip the pancake and bake on other side for one minute. Do not overcook. The pancakes should be moist and spring back to the touch. Makes 12 (4-inch) pancakes. Raspberry Maple Syrup

country's elite. It is here that Cornelius Vanderbilt II, a steamship and railroad tycoon, built The Breakers, in 1893. Richard Morris Hunt designed the seventy room Italian Renaissance mansion that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. The building has been described as the grandest of the homes in Newport, created though an opulence and lavish use of marble, mosaics, alabaster and antique wood, combined with symmetry of design.
erection of the Newport Bridge replaced the lighthouse on navigational charts, rendering the lighthouse as needless. Neglect and vandalism took a toll on the structure until 1984, when a non-profit foundation was established to restore and operate the lighthouse and surrounding grounds as an historic and environmental education site to benefit the general public. After years of hard work and determination, the Rose Island Lighthouse foundation relit the light in 1993.

rich history behind them. Such is the case with The Inn at the Round Barn in Vermont. The barn and farmhouse were built in the early 1900's and operated in the capacity of a dairy farm. Round barns had been popular with the Shakers, who helped to settle the area. The dairy farm ceased operations in 1969. In 1986 restoration began on the structures, resulting in the farmhouse being transformed into an Inn with seven guestrooms, and the horse barn converting into an additional four guestrooms.
By 1716, the owner applied for a license to operate as a tavern, and added two large rooms to accommodate overnight guests. The inn went under the name of Red Horse Tavern, until the publishing of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous tale in 1863. The business remained in the family until 1897, being renovated often as the need for further rooms increased. In 1923, Henry Ford purchased the Inn and surrounding land. 
He built and also purchased and moved various structures to the property, creating a small village of historical significance.
