A Trip Back in Time
Heinrich Adam Müller, also known as Henry Miller, built the building we now call The Heidelberg Restaurant, Tavern & Motel in 1860. In its 160+ years of history, it has served as a stagecoach stop, been affected by Prohibition, the wars, and the introduction of the automobile, and welcomed guests from all over the world. Below are a few photos from The Heidelberg's history.
