Compass Inn Museum & Ligonier Valley Historical Society Visit Compass Inn Museum to receive an informative and entertaining tour by costumed docents that tells the story of transportation and everyday life in the early 1800’s. The tour delivers “history with a smile” by incorporating agenerous sprinkling of etymology (word and phrase origins). For example you can learn why we drink in “bars” and “toast” people.
