English: The Baldwin Inn (Also called the Baldwin Tavern and The Baldwin Haunted House) was a historic house in Lancaster, OH that was long reputed to be haunted. Built c.1820 by John Baldwin and run as a tavern and stagecoach inn along the original Zane's Trace road, the house was the scene of at least two confirmed murders. For many years the inn was the subject of much local folklore. It was reportedly haunted by the ghosts of travelers who were murdered at the tavern in the 19th century. John Baldwin himself was rumored to have been one of Jean LaFitte's pirates who was given amnesty by President James Madison and used his ill gotten gains to buy a substantial amount of land in Fairfield County, Oh after the War of 1812. The inn and the nearby stone barn built by Baldwin were both demolished in 1951 to make way for a new housing development.
