THE WAYSIDE INN. SUDBURY.Built in 1683 by David Howe, and kept as a tavern until 1860. Here the poet Longfellow, Thoreau, the Alcotts, Hawthorne. Emerson and other bearers ofnotable names in American literature, spent their vacations. Longfellow in his Tales of a Wayside Inn made the old tavern famous. For many years it was usedas a private house and was only opened at a comparatively recent date in its original character. Its quaint furnishings make it a most interesting relic of the past.
