Lewis Inn is a historic inn near Chester, Chester County, South Carolina, United States. It was built about 1750 and is a "matched" two-story log house covered with clapboard. It was re-covered with brown shingles in 1923. It has a lateral gable roof, with exterior end chimneys, and a one-story right wing. The inn was a tavern during Colonial and Revolutionary days and also a stagecoach stop. In 1807, Aaron Burr spent the night there on his way to Richmond for trial on charges of treason. Legend has it that Burr escaped briefly because a bribed maid left his bedroom door unlatched. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
