Captain Grant's, 1754  

" Come and experience New England... with your lodging experience as enjoyable and memorable as the places you visit. CAPTAIN GRANT'S INN was originally built by Captain William Gonzales Grant in 1754 for his wife Mercy Adelaide Avery. Grant died at sea, while Mercy lived into her 80's and the home continued to house three generations of the Grant Family. During the Revolutionary War, soldiers used the home as a Garrison, and during the Civil War, the home protected runaway slaves. A major restoration took place from 1994 through 1996. Today, the Inn stands restored to its original grandeur and prominence in this national Historic Village. CAPTAIN GRANT'S features wide-board hardwood floors, 245-year-old hand-hewn beams and an authentically rebuilt seven-foot-wide staircase. The original banister and balusters had been kept in oak barrels for over a hundred years until the restoration commenced. A three story deck, built on the home's east side, allows you to experience the rising sun while enjoying that morning cup of coffee. THE HOME'S siding and windows are original, with only a few panes of glass replaced. The walkway was built from stone found on the property. The deck is post and beam style and made of white oak. You may sit under a 280-year-old maple tree - an awesome experience! THE AVERY HOME - Captain Grant's also includes the Avery Home, adjacent to the main Inn. The Avery Home was built in 1790 and is also on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the home where the Holly and Margaret Rooms are located. Both of these rooms feature wood burning fireplaces EACH GUEST ROOM features a full private bath, color cable television, air conditioning and complimentary sherry.
