The Hammel House is a true landmark and the backbone of Waynesville’s historic Main Street, the "Antique Capital of the Midwest".
Built in 1822, this 6,100+ square foot masonry structure has stood at the center of the community for over 200 years—serving as a stagecoach inn, restaurant, gathering place, and cornerstone of local commerce.
This is more than a building—it’s a piece of American history.
Originally tied to Waynesville’s founding era and later named after Enoch Hammel in 1841, the property is believed to have connections to the Underground Railroad, reflecting the village’s deep Quaker heritage and role in early American history.
Located in the heart of the National Register Historic District, The Hammel House sits directly on the busiest pedestrian corridor in town—capturing foot traffic from 600,000+ annual visitors drawn by festivals, antique shopping, and year-round tourism.
