Publick House, Sturbridge, Mass., 1771

The Publick House Historic Inn was originally established on the eve of the American Revolution by Colonel Ebenezer Crafts...

When Crafts finally debuted his wonderful new inn during the 1770s, he decided to call it “Crafts Tavern.” But Crafts also referred to the structure as the “Publick House” in recognition of the inn’s mission to service the people of Sturbridge...

...the building hosted both the Marquis de Lafayette and his son, Georges Washington de Lafayette, when the two famously toured the nation during the 1820s.
