New England's colonial inns and taverns : centuries of Yankee fare and hospitality

"New England's Colonial Inns and Taverns explores the history of these institutions and visits those that are still around. Today, there's no better remedy for the winter blues than a visit to a Colonial tavern. For centuries, travelers who have stepped out of the cold and into a tavern have found not only hearty Yankee fare, but also a feast for the senses: the warmth of a roaring fire, the creaking of uneven plank floors, the intoxicating incense of a smoky hearth and mulled apple cider, the taste of a cocktail chased by a swig of history. Centuries ago, taverns offered respites for weary wayfarers on horseback. Today, they remain welcome havens from high-speed lives"--From publisher's website History on tap : inns & taverns in New England Massachusetts Cliff Lodge Concord's Colonial Inn Eben House Kelley House Lambert's Cove Inn Longfellow's Wayside Inn Old Inn On The Green Old Yarmouth Inn Publick House Red Lion Inn The Salem Cross Inn Restaurant & Tavern Union Oyster House Warren Tavern Maine 1774 Inn York Harbor Inn New Hampshire Hancock Inn Hanover Inn Three Chimney's Inn and ffrost Sawyer Tavern Vermont The Dorset Inn The Equinox Grafton Inn Ye Olde Tavern Connecticut Captain Daniel Packer Inne Griswold Inn Ordinary Winvian Farm Rhode Island Frances Malbone House Mount Hope Farm White Horse Tavern TAVERN MUSEUMS Massachusetts Buckman Tavern Hartwell Tavern Golden Ball Tavern Museum Hall Tavern Harnden Tavern Hartwell Tavern Munroe Tavern The Old Ordinary Parker Tavern Rider's Tavern Maine Burnham Tavern Jefferds Tavern Connecticut Keeler Tavern Museum Phelps Tavern Museum Historic Putnam Cottage Vermont Chimney Point Tavern Old Constitution House New Hampshire Jones House & Tavern Folsom Tavern Pitt Tavern Wyman Tavern Rhode Island The Paine House Museum.
