Munroe Tavern

Built in the early 1690's, the tavern is named for William Munroe, orderly sergeant of Captain Parker's minuteman company in 1775. Munroe served as tavern proprietor from 1770 to 1827. Many family articles from this period are on display in the tavern, including an eighteenth century tavern sign. President Washington dined at the Munroe Tavern when he visited the Lexington battlefield in 1789; an upstairs room contains the table at which he sat, documents relating to his trip, and a fine wooden tricorn hat box dating from the Revolutionary period.

Munroe Tavern is open daily from 1:30-3:00 pm.
