Charlie and

Bertha Clevenger

would certainly

be surprised to

know how their

name was being

freely used a

half-a century

later.

Amissville’s first long-distance “weekenders.”

In 1946, he would make the drive to the city—all spiffed up in a suit and tie, in his brand-new Chrysler Windsor.

After Charlie retired in 1948, he and Bertha operated the Cab Inn, along U.S. 211 west of Sperryville. It was then a complex of a gas station, restaurant, and.tourist cabins.

The Clevengers next moved to New Baltimore in Fauquier County, and lived on a farm there, but eventually they zeroed in on the intersection of U.S. 211 and Route 229 in Culpeper County, as a good place to set up their own business.
