On May 17, 2008, Hall's Tavern was relocated to the property of Paul and Diane Manning in the Green Springs Historic District.

Pat Wilson, feature writer for Louisa Life recalls that day:

Paul and Diane Manning watched proudly, and perhaps a little apprehensively, as the historic Hall's Tavern, situated on a flatbed trailer, negotiated the Zion Crossroads intersection, gently swerving across north and southbound lanes to avoid low-hanging traffic signals. Although the roof of the two-story section had been carefully removed, the remaining height and 18-foot width still presented obstacles, which a professional hauling crew seemed to take in stride.

Prior to the move the 1960s additions were removed and wood bracing placed over exposed areas. The historic section was jacked up from its brick foundation, after steel beams had been tunneled under the frame. Finally, the flatbed was maneuvered underneath.

Expert driving was but one part of the well-thought-out move, completed just after dawn on Sunday, May 17th. Louisa County Sheriff's Office provided an escort, Virginia Department of Transportation employees assisted, and Comcast and Virginia Electric Cooperative technicians rode lift buckets to raise utility wires along the 10-mile route, that extended eastward on Three Chopt Road then north along James Madison Highway for several miles before turning onto East Jack Jouett Road.

The last mile on the narrow gravel road bordered by trees was not without hazards. At one spot, Shaun Durkin, who will lead the restoration team, climbed on the tavern's roof to cut away an overhanging limb.

Three hours after leaving the Zion Road site that the tavern had occupied for over two-and-a-half centuries, the structure arrived near its new home, safe and sound.

Before moving the tavern to its new home, the Mannings will needed to secure numerous permits, a soil and septic analysis on their Green Springs property, a well drilled, and a foundation constructed. Despite the challenges, the couple is relieved to see the tavern out of harms way.

Much of Hall's Tavern's interior remains unchanged. With the help of historic preservationists the couple plans to preserve the original woodworking, paneling, beams, flooring, and stairs.

"The narrow and worn stairs to the second floor are original, but the fireplace mantels are not," said Diane Manning.

ContContractors will replace rotted wood and repair roof and water damage. There is a lot of painting and cleaning to be as done as well but the Mannings are dedicated to the project.

"We'll do whatever we can to return the tavern to what it may have looked like in the 1750s," said Paul Manning. "You don't get a second chance when it comes to something like this. If you don't save it, it's gone forever."
