The bluebird Inn was built in 1882 and is considered the oldest operating tavern in the state. For a number of years it contained a barbershop. The old building has gone through many names. They have ranged from The Pool Hall, The Club, The Bickleton Tavern, and The Bluebird Tavern and is now called the Bluebird Inn. This is the only building left in town that has not been burned by the major fires that have ravaged the town since it’s beginning. The oiled wooden floor is original and in good shape considering the many feet that have walked on it. Some of the footprints are now being made by forth generation customers. The Inn looks like a museum with its 1903 Brunswick pool table with leather pockets. It is still in use and very much desired by the Brunswick Company who would like to have it for their own museum. Two hay rake wagon wheels hang from the ceiling with fruit jar light fixtures. A picture of Bickleton’s founder, Charles N. Bickle and his wife Fanny E. (Bacon) Bickle, share a wall with board paintings and deer antlers put up by local hunters. Two card tables used for pinochle and poker have a half circle cut into them for a previous owner so he could reach the cards. His belly was quite large. The present owner  is  Nelda Flores. This is a small, unique little tavern and café that welcomes everyone including children.  Welcome.
