Taneytown innkeepers giving back to military personnel as part of national initiative, ‘a no-brainer’
Georges on York, a bed and breakfast establishment in downtown Taneytown, is rich with history that has ties to the Civil War.
George Motter, who worked for the Union army as an assistant surgeon during the war, is credited with building the structure on 10 York Street that houses Chris and Sharon Tillman’s inn. The couple bought the home in 2017 and turned it into a full-service bed and breakfast that features five guest rooms, a kitchen, and an art gallery.
Sharon Tillman’s family has a longstanding military background, she said, and her sister is a retired Army colonel. So when opportunities arise that allow Georges on York to give back to the community, and help service members at the same time, the Tillmans don’t hesitate.
That’s why they’re involved in an effort called Inn Support of Our Troops, which helps deliver care packages to service members overseas. More than 30 inns across the country are participating, and an assortment of goodies made it out to be delivered July 4.
