The Hartwell Tavern in Lincoln, Massachusetts "was built 1732-1733. When Ephraim and Elizabeth Hartwell got married, Ephraim's father Samuel gave them a new house surrounded by 18 acres of land, as well as 12 other acres (30 acres total). The couple quickly began raising a family. In 1756, when the Hartwells had 9 children living in the house, Ephraim applied for and received a license to open part of their home as an inn. He and his family continued to do so until the 1780's." www.nps.gov/mima/hartwell-tavern.htm NTSC Sepia SIMG 0349A (Fall 2014)
