The Hibernian House was the original hotel and meeting place of the alleged Molly Maguire's owned and operated by John "Black Jack" Kehoe. The hotel has been passed down to Kehoe's heirs and is currently owned and operated by Kehoe's great-grandson Joseph Wayne.
Over the years the Hibernian House has gone through several renovations. Joe restored the bar area and hotel rooms to reflect the original look and has added several artifacts from the alleged Molly Maguire era, such as the original Kehoe Jail Cell Door, Shackles, and Coal Mine Equipment.
