The Peter Perchmonts were very early pioneers of the Greensburg Pike district, and operated a stagecoach stop, stagecoach ticket office, an inn, supply store and tavern during the heyday of the Turnpike tollway. After the advent of the railroad, the establishment was closed and reopened about 1927 as a tavern.
James Delaney, a grandson of Peter Perchment, Jr., discontinued as operator of the Morning Star Inn in 1955, and this severed relations with the Peter Perchment kin and the old stagecoach stop. The building was completely destroyed by fire in 1961.
