On April 19, 1775, the Munroe Tavern was used by the British as a field hospital. This recent photo shot by Rick Beyer did a great job of recreating an atmosphere of what it was like.

"The days are short, the weather's cold, By tavern fires, tales are told. Some ask for dram when first come in, others with flip and bounce begin." New England Almanac, 1704

"Wheoe'er has travell'd life's dull round, Where'er his stages may have been, May sign to think he still has found the warmest welcome at an inn." Shenstone

"Along the varying road of life, In calm content, in toil or strife, In morn or at noon, by night or day, How oft doth man by care oppressed Find at an inn a place of rest!" Combe

"What do you think Here is good drink. Perhaps you may not know it; If not in haste, do stop and taste, You merry folks will show it." Molineaux, 1774
