The Morgan House was a private residence for Esquire William Porter and his family. Edwin Morgan, the first settler of the city of Springfield,enlarged this home in 1855 and opened its doors to visitors arriving on incoming stagecoaches. Thus, began the long and illustrious history of The Morgan House Inn. Mary Morgan Jones and Charles Morgan, Edwin's daughter and youngest son, carried on the family tradition, providing a comfortable rest stop for weary travelers and their horses.

The hospitality and comfort of the Morgan House has been enjoyed by many guests, including the likes of Ulysses S Grant and George Bernard Shaw. President Cleveland became so fond of Lee and The Morgan House that during his last year in office he hosted the 1895 summer army games in the nearby village of Tyringham. Famous archeologist Rob Titus, who first opened King Tut's Tomb, held his annual Raccoon Hunting Banquets at the Morgan House.

The lore of the Morgan House deepened not only as a result of events in time such as prohibition, but also with each respective change in ownership. From 1913 to 1970 the Morgan House was owned by members of the Shields family. James Shields was succeeded by his daughter, Maria Shields, and her husband Earl Perot. From 1970 to the present, owners such as Allan Werring, Maria Cole (widow of Nat King Cole), Beth and Bill Orford, Kim and Wes Bookstaver and Michael and Connie Diggins have created a piece of history here at the Inn.
