Why was Dudler’s Inn called a “Summer Resort”? Here in Parley’s Historic Nature Preserve, only fragments of stone and whispers remain. Dudler’s Inn once stood proudly on this very spot. Joseph Dudler arrived around 1864 and built his two-story home, part of it nestled into the hillside. The original structure was a modest thirty-six by fifty-six feet. Dudler’s Inn, however, became much more than a home. It was a hub for travelers, a place of rest and refreshment along the busy Parley’s Canyon route. As his business thrived, Joseph expanded Dudler’s Inn in 1870, adding a brewery to the west. This expansion included a sixteen-foot extension to the north, incorporating adobe into the upper story. The lower floor housed the now-famous “Wine Cellar,” a cool, rock-walled space perfect for storing his brews. Dudler’s ingenuity extended beyond brewing. He cleverly diverted water from Parley’s Canyon Creek for irrigation, while a nearby spring provided fresh drinking water for Dudler’s Inn. He wasn’t just an innkeeper; he was a shrewd entrepreneur. He operated saloons in Salt Lake City and later in Park City. Dudler’s Inn, also known as Dudler’s Saloon and Dudler’s Summer Resort, continued to serve travelers until Joseph’s death in 1897. Even then, his descendants kept the “homestead” alive until a tragic fire, set by vandals, destroyed Dudler’s Inn on the night of October 17, 1952. Now, as you stand here, among the ruins, imagine the clatter of glasses, the scent of brewing beer, and the weary travelers seeking respite within the walls of Dudler’s Inn. The wine cellar remains as a silent testament to Joseph Dudler’s legacy.
