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.
