Taverns in early Connecticut were more than just a place to drink. Travelers and locals alike saw taverns as a place to be
entertained, spread news and gossip, have a good meal, and get a night’s lodging.
Learn about how taverns were an essential part of every Connecticut town with Jennifer Busa, public programs coordinator at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History.
