Thank you for visiting Pennybackers! Please come back and see us again!

About Pennybackers: The building at 14 East Water Street dates back to the 1850’s and has historically been a carriage house or Pub. Its past names include The George Washington Inn as well as the Blue Swan Tavern. One of the early owners was a man named Derrick Pennybacker, and the building is known as the Pennybacker Building. Going with the penny theme, the majority of the tables in the restaurant were auctioned off at the Harrisonburg Children’s Museum’s annual fundraiser. Auction winners were able to design their own tabletop using the tail side of pennies, with the exception of 10 heads on each table. See if you can find the 10 heads! Feel free to browse the restaurant and check out the additional tabletops as well as the turn of the century pictures of Harrisonburg.
