MEDAD STONE TAVERN

Medad Stone had this tavern built in 1803, anticipating the construction of a new post road between Boston and New York. He lived large, with 14 rooms and 10 fireplaces. The problem was that the road never saw the light of day and the inn never opened its doors! Today, the establishment is a fine example of federal architecture, in vogue in the 19th century. The property overlooking the West River salt marshes also includes a barn, a corn loft and farmland. Inside the tavern, some of the furniture is period.
