Dill's Tavern, also known as Eichelberger's Tavern and The Logan House, is a historic site located at Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. The Irish settler Matthew Dill began establishing the Monaghan settlement in 1742 which later boasted a wooden tavern or way-station with the same name, productive agricultural yields, and a whiskey still. The 190 acre plantation grew to encompass 650 acres located just south of the Dill's Gap on the northern end of the South Mountain range between what is Cumberland County and York County. Matthew Dill's son James Dill inherited the property after his father's death in 1742 and expanded on his father's business. James Dill's son, John Dill, was transferred 393 acres of the 650 acre plantation in 1784.

John Dill expanded production on the plantation to have a stable for herders and drovers moving livestock, two log barns, a granary, bakehouse, and spring house including improved lodging accommodations for travelers. The property was deeded to Leonard Eichelberger in 1800 that later expanded and tripled the size of the original stone Tavern built by John Dill and continued to run the distillery and tavern as well as his wagon building and wheelwright business on the plantation.
