Longfellow's Wayside Inn, Sudbury

Our fourth and final stop was Longfellow's Wayside Inn, which dates to the early 1700's and is the original building.  You can still stay there and the downstairs is a restaurant in all the different rooms.  It's quite lovely. So was the foliage.


Barn across from the Inn.

I believe George Washington and probably some of his men stopped here.



I never read this book but maybe I will now that I've been here.  However, to be honest, I find almost all 'classic literature', both American and British, to be extremely boring and dry. 

There is one room downstairs where you can view period pieces as it looked in colonial times.


This is upstairs.  I assume this is a function room and still in use.

Sitting room for overnight guests on the second floor.

This is an embroidery of the beginning of the Revolutionary War which of course started in this area.
 

The workmanship was amazing.

Saw this in town on the way out of Sudbury and thought it was a cool looking building.  That's the reflection of Russell's hand on the steering wheel.  😁

 We pulled over so I could get some shots of this tree.  It was gorgeous.

Reservoir across the street.

I give this part of Sudbury two thumbs up.  It's beautiful and quite a sight in the fall.
