The Basics

SELECT REGISTRY MEMBER SINCE 2024

In 1821, Dr. Peter Allen hired architect-builder Willis Smith of CT to construct his home. This would become Smith's most memorable accomplishment and the crowned Jewel of Federal Neo-Classical architecture in the area.

Today, The Peter Allen Inn and Event Center has become northeast Ohio's premier venue to host events for all occasions. It is an exquisite piece of Kinsman's history that offers elaborate event spaces, luxurious overnight accommodations, and extraordinary culinary experiences.

My wife and I went for lunch. We went for lunch here last year and decided to return again. We had the same server as last year. Angela was excellent. My wife ordered and Caesar salad and I had the salad wedge with grilled chicken. We also had a bruschetta appetizer and drinks. The food took a while but it was worth it. Everything was very good.

It was! We live in Kent so it was a...See More
