The Sherman Tavern, near Sherman, Kentucky, was built in about 1840. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]

It was deemed notable as "a good example of the popular version of a three-part Greek Revival composition featuring a recessed pedimented porch. The structure has historical interest in being one of the mid-19th century taverns on the Lexington-Covington Road, one of the first macadamized roads in Kentucky."[2]

The listing included three contributing buildings.[1]

The property is said to have had 10 slave cabins, which no longer exist.[2]
