About Saltsman's Hotel.
This historic establishment has been a destination restaurant for over two centuries, located in the Adirondack-Leatherstocking region of Upstate New York. It is one of New York State's oldest continuously operated restaurants. Situated near the junction of Route 67 & 10 in Ephratah, NY, it's a short drive from Canajoharie or Johnstown.
Saltsman's Hotel is known for its unique seasonal specialties, such as milkweed and elderberry pie, and is particularly noted for its creamed potatoes, baked onion casseroles, and corn fritters. It offers a dining experience for those who appreciate historical settings, antiques, and substantial meals at affordable family prices.
The hotel is currently temporarily closed as it searches for trained staff and individuals with an appreciation for Adirondack history.
