The Hotel Peace & Plenty has a long history dating back to the 1700’s. It changed hands in 2017, and the new owners wanted to preserve the rich heritage of the building.

There is lots of speculation about it's origin, but its purpose is clear. It acted as a marker for sailing ships to navigate to a point where they could harvest salt, an essential commodity to the crew’s survival for long voyages. For thousands of years, prior to refrigeration, salt was the only element that would allow food (fish, meats) to be stored for long periods without spoiling. Hence it was essential to any voyage of substantial duration.
