Bob's Place! "The Waybury Inn" 1982-1990


Popular comedian Bob Newhart became character Dick Loudan the proprietor of The Stratford Inn, located in the State of Vermont. The T.V. show "Newhart" aired on CBS from 1982 until 1990.
The reality is the fictitious Stratford Inn was actually the historic "Waybury Inn that was used for the T.V. show. The "Waybury Inn" was originally built in 1810 and is on the list of historic places in the U.S.A.  I did pay The Inn a short visit today! The Waybury Inn is located in East Middlebury, Vt. Very close to where you would start your journey heading east  up the mountain on scenic route 125 (The Middlebury Gap). Oh yes! The answer to your question is no. I did not bump into Bob Newhart during my visit. Or Daryl or his brother Daryl!!!


The final episode of this funny series can be viewed on Youtube.
