The New Boston Inn is a historic inn at 101 North Main Street, the junction of Massachusetts Routes 8 and 57 in the center of the New Boston village of Sandisfield, Massachusetts. With a construction history dating back to c. 1750, it is one of the oldest buildings in the town, and a prominent local example of Federal period architecture. It has served as a traveler accommodation of some sort for over two centuries. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The Inn was once the intersection of three stage routes: Sandisfield to Lee; Westfield to Sandisfield; and Winsted to Otis. These stage runs carried both passengers and mail.
