Wright's Tavern was built in 1747 by Ephraim Jones, who operated it until 1751. At the dawn of the American Revolution in April 1775, it was managed by Amos Wright, whose name it has borne ever since. On April 19, the day of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, when the courthouse bell announced the approach of Major Pitcairn's British troops, the Concord Minutemen assembled at Wright's Tavern.

In 1747, one of the church's most important add-ons, Wright Tavern, was built behind the church.
"Back then, the church was never heated," mentioned Baker. "Services would be three or four hours, then break for a quick lunch, then come back for another three or four hours of 'meetings'. Wright Tavern was used as a place that practitioners could go to get something to eat and warm up in-between the long services." patch.com
