Country inns are
similar to B&Bs except they
offer dinner in a full service
restaurant. Guest rooms are
decorated with individual decor
and often include antiques.
Usually, breakfast is also
served and maybe lunch. |

"The gods who
are most interested in the human
race preside over the tavern....
The tavern will compare
favorably with the church. The
church is the place where
prayers and sermons are
delivered, but the tavern is
where they are to take effect,
and if the former are good the
latter cannot be bad."
Thoreau
"Whoe'er has travell'd life's
dull round
Where'er his stages may have
been,
May sigh to think he still has
found,
The warmest welcome at an inn."
Shenstone (written on a window
of an inn) |

The Golden Ball Tavern, Weston,
Massachusetts (c. 1768)
Built in 1768, the Golden Ball
Tavern was the home of prominent
18th century Westonian Isaac
Jones. The tavern "at the sign
of the golden ball" operated as
an inn from 1770 to 1793 for
travellers on the Boston Post
Road. It ceased being an inn in
1793. From then on, for six
generations-200 years-it was
occupied by the same family
until it was acquired by the
Golden Ball Tavern Trust in the
1960's. Here, history still
lives and breathes, telling the
story of change.
