History

Originally built about 1830, Polly's Pancake Parlor was a carriage shed, later used to store firewood. Polly and Wilfred (Sugar Bill) Dexter turned the shed into a small tea room in the 1930s. In 1938, to promote their maple products, they began offering pancakes, waffles, and French toast - "All you can eat for 50¢." Their daughter Nancy and son-in-law Roger Aldrich took over management in 1949. During the 1960s, they expanded to the point that they were open six months a year (they serve about 50,000 people per season),[2] not three, and the dining room is now three times the original size. Nancy and Roger's daughter Kathie and her husband Dennis Cote are involved full-time in management.[3][1]
