Private Fletcher

"It was the mid 1700's and a young private named Fletcher was a Grenadier with the New England Militia. His military service was short lived though, as he met his demise early on the battlefield, leaving his young wife and child to fend for themselves.

After her husband's untimely death, the widowed Fletcher turned her home into a tavern, an unheard of venture for women of this time period. Thus, becoming the first woman to own a tavern in America. She spent the remainder of her life providing a comfortable, relaxing setting for locals and weary travelers alike, becoming famously known as "The Widow Fletcher."
