The Bird-In-Hand Family Inn is rebuilding its damaged building with a local tradition.
Nearly six months after an explosion damaged the Bird-In-Hand Family Inn, the hotel is beginning a major step in the rebuild process Tuesday. A barn raising is being held to rebuild part of the hotel. The new building at the front of the property will house the registration desk, sales office and seven guest rooms, including the popular Schoolhouse Suite and a new Barn Suite.
'It gives the community a chance to come together and to help,' said John Smucker, the CEO of the inn. 'They've been asking about how they can do that over many months.' The staff of the hotel said they are also keeping Michelle Miller in mind, a longtime employee who tragically died in December's incident.'We are doing a little bit more in the lobby area to make it a little safer,' general manager Tammy Portner-Smith said.
