The village and the inn took their name from William Prosser Herring, a paper manufacturer from Watertown who built the mill on the Black River.he paper mill was built in 1887 and later the village and the Inn were developed around the mill with the industrialization of the area. Many believe that the Inn served as a boardinghouse for its workers while others believe that the Inn was a stagecoach stop however, this is all speculation as the actual history of the Inn was relatively undocumented aside from a passing mention in articles about the Mill and William Herring.
There are countless legends and stories told about the construction of the Inn and Mill including some interesting reports that could provide answers as to why the building would be likely haunted. In one alleged account of the construction, it is said that Mr. Herring was so upset with one of his workers that upon firing them he threw them from the roof of the building.
Not surprisingly, many guests of the Herrings Inn, now called the Little Sisters Inn at Herrings, have reported strange unexplained phenomena while staying at the Inn. Reports range from seeing fleeting shadow figures down the halls to lights turning on and off by themselves. Still others have witnessed apparitions, shadow figures, ghostly voices, strange sounds and sensations.
