Throughout its colorful history, the Sherwood Inn has been a magnet for summer visitors and dignitaries, but it has also been a treasured gathering place for village residents.

The Sherwood Inn details the engaging history of the village and the inn, highlighting the property's meticulous renovation, and the exceptionally close bond between Skaneateles and the Sherwood Inn.Filled with photographs of the inn, the stunning Skaneateles scenery, and legendary seasonal traditions, the book also features many popular recipes from the Sherwood kitchen. The Sherwood Inn captures the spirit of aclose, preservation-minded community and of the inn that has served as its centerpiece for more than two centuries.
