Located in the heart of downtown Boscobel is the Boscobel Hotel. Built in 1863 and originally known as the Central House, this three-story native limestone landmark is now listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places. The hotel etched its mark in world history in 1898 when two Christian traveling salesmen shared a room and conceived the idea of a Christian travelers’ association. That meeting led to the formation of the world-famous Gideon Society, which has since placed millions of Gideon Bibles in lodging facilities throughout the world. Here is a brief history of the Central House / Boscobel Hotel.
