1. Left 0.6 m. on this road to the small village of LIMEROCK (Lincoln Town), on the eastern edge of which is the Eleazer Whippie House (private) or Mowry Tavern. Although greatly altered, a portion of this structure dates back to 1684 or earlier. The newer, or eastern part, was built in 1825. The building appears now as a large two-and-one-half-story white frame farmhouse, in poor repair. It was once the tavern of Jeremiah Mowry; an inn license was granted to the hostelry in 1747.

Limerock was a well known place for travelers because it was located between Providence, Worcester and Woonsocket. The stages that ran between these towns all stopped at Mowry Tavern to change horses. The first license was granted to Jeremiah Mowry in 1747.
