The Homestead
Our Rich History
It has been said that almost half of the couples in this area have been engaged during dinner at Don’s Pomeroy House, and more than half of all “good news” has been announced over drinks or dinner here. We’re happy about that and we’d like to think that Mr. Alanson Pomeroy and family would be pleased to see the legacy of wonderful hospitality and an unbeatable dining experience is being exceptionally served every day in his old “Homestead.”
In June of 1975, the Pomeroy House was entered on the National Register of Historical Places. It was at that point the long time local restaurateur Don Strang, Jr. began to realize and understand the location, its history and its potential to the future population of Strongsville.
The Pomeroy House served as a station for the Underground Railroad.
Alanson Pomeroy and his wife secreted fugitive slaves in the cellar.
