Nellis Tavern is a historic inn and tavern located at St. Johnsville in Montgomery County, New York. It was built about 1747-1750 as a farmhouse and expanded about 1790 to its present form. It is a two-story, five-by-two-bay frame residence constructed atop a coursed rubblestone foundation. The building has been restored to the period of about 1835, when it was used as a tavern.
After the American Civil War the tavern business declined and the building was used again as a family farmhouse.[1]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
An herb garden has been established on the grounds, and there is an associated yearly Rhubarb Festival.
