An 18th-century farmhouse on about 600 acres
Salem Cross Inn stands at 260 West Main Street (Route 9) in West Brookfield. The land was granted to John White in the early 1700s and stayed in his family for eight generations. Henry Salem bought the farm in 1950, restored the homestead with his brother Dick, and opened it as the inn in 1961.
Its Chestnut Room holds a 17th-century roasting jack at a fieldstone hearth, which the inn still uses to roast prime rib.
Showers, rehearsal dinners and private dinners
Eight function rooms range from the Corner Cupboard for 12 and the Panel Room for 14 to the Brookfield Room for 60. The Peregrine White room, with a working fireplace, and the Tavern Room each hold 40.
Fireplace Feasts
From November to April the inn cooks a 1700s-style meal at the hearth, with a wagon or sleigh ride when the weather allows. Tickets are $89 per person, tax and gratuity included, and must be bought in advance.
Check the inn’s ticket calendar before choosing your stay; feast tickets and lodging are booked separately. Book the feast before the house.

Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 4 to 8 PM and Sunday from noon to 5 PM. Closed Monday to Wednesday. The inn takes reservations by phone at 508-867-2345.
