Built in 1796 has served as a tavern, hotel, a private residence, a sanctuary for citizens during the 1831 Insurrection, was a stage coach stop connecting the important ports of South Quay and Franklin Depot to the capitol in Richmond, Virginia and points east, was a meeting place for lively political and economic discussions, served as a post office when Fielding J. Mahone became post master in 1840, and was the boyhood home for two of Southampton County's most prominent 19th century politicians:

1. William Mahone was a railroad magnate, a confederate major general, "Hero of the Crater", a United States Senator, leader of the Readjuster Party (1879-1883), the most radical reforming political party in Virginia's history that rose to power amid controversy over $3 million in state debt following the War Between the States.

2. John J. Kindred was a United States Senator from New York, a medical doctor and a pioneer of mental health care

Currently, Mahone's Tavern & Museum, Inc. operates as a unique historical site and is on both the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historical Places .

Located across from the Southampton County Courthouse, Mahone's Tavern served multiple roles for local residents and long distant travelers.
