The Phelps Tavern Museum uses period room and interactive galleries to interpret the use of the historic Capt. Elisha Phelps House as a tavern and inn from 1786 to 1849. Three successive generations of Phelps tavernkeepers are chronicled along with the social history of taverns in New England. From Masonic meetings to ordination balls, the Phelps Tavern hosted townspeople and travelers who arrived by horse, stagecoach and canal boat. The museum is open for tours all year long on Tuesday through Saturday from 12 Noon to 4 PM. Closed major holidays.
