According to Aldrich’s 1887 history of Clearfield County, “The first tavern, as hotels were then called, was opened by Lebbeus Luther shortly after settling at Luthersburgh (sic), in 1820. 955.8K Macron Criticized for Saying Government Should Make Life Miserable for Unvacci The Golden Yoke was originally called the Merchants Hotel and it was built about 1855. It became the “Golden Yoke” in the 1940’s when it stopped being a hotel and began serving a “smorgasbord” style dinner. It was named for an ox yoke that was painted gold and hung on the porch. Folks reportedly traveled from miles away to sample the cuisine. Much has happened there over the years. The hotel was the site of civil war political unrest, a spot to view parades and lodging for teamsters hauling iron shipments on their way along the Erie Pike.
