Uncover the real story behind a New England landmark and its ties to literature, music, and a nation’s beginnings. This 1897 address surveys the Wayside Inn’s long history, its famous owners, and the echoes of Longfellow’s Tales of a Wayside Inn that helped shape the house’s legend.
From early innkeeping traditions to moments in the American Revolution, the work traces how a humble tavern became a touchstone of local memory, art, and community. It weaves together stories of the Howe family, the Red Horse Tavern, and the way Longfellow imagined and celebrated this place, including artifacts, heirs, and the town’s civic pride. The piece blends historical detail with literary reflection, offering a window into how a single inn can symbolize a broader American heritage.
Ideal for readers of American history, literary history, and local heritage who want a concise, vivid look at a landmark with a storied past.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the history of the Wayside Inn, an establishment in the town of Sudbury, Massachusetts. The author narrates the founding of the settlement in the 17th century and introduces the Howe family, who established the inn in the 1700s. The author tells of the inn's proprietors, including its business, their role in the American Revolution, and the building's transformation into the Wayside Inn, popularized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
