Vagabond Village In Cecil Closes

October 17, 2022Updated:December 27, 2022No Comments2 Mins Read

CLOSED… A sign hangs on the door at the Vagabond Village in Cecil. After 72 year, the property is closed.


After 72 years of service in Cecil, The Vagabond Village has reached the end of operation. Officially closing at 3:00 p.m. on October 9th and was busy with those coming to order food one last time and say goodbye.

Started by Irwin and Margaret Rush in the 1950’s. The building was a popular truck stop along the old Route 24. Later when the new Route 24 was built, traffic took another way.

The business was still able to draw in customers and stay busy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was served each day along with good food items being sold as well.

In the beginning when the building was first constructed by its original owners, it had hotel rooms, a gas station, pinball and slot machines.

Some of these things are still there today including the gas pumps. In the 70’s the hotel rooms were switched over to be used as supply rooms.

Today, the building was home to a popular restaurant that was also host to popular shops from time to time.

Now for sale, the hope is that it will be bought by someone who will continue its long and historic tradition.
