Williams Tavern
The first tavern was erected on
this site by Lieutenant Abraham
Williams in 1665. Destroyed by
Indians in 1676, it was promptly
rebuilt and managed by the
Williams family until 1829. Here
the early circuit courts convened,
stage coaches changed horses, and
historic personages tarried.

Visit Instructions:
When logging a Massachusetts Historic Marker, we ask that you not only describe your visit, but to upload a picture from it. The picture does not have to be of the marker - one picture of the marker is enough. But a photo of you standing next to the marker or a photograph the subject of the marker - those are examples of possible photographs to upload.
