Rain, rain, go away! 🌧️

The 1716 B**r Garden will be CLOSED today, 8/23 due to weather. However, Longfellow’s Wayside Inn’s restaurant and tavern are both open - so cozy up with a warm meal and great drink in our historic atmosphere.

We apologize for any inconvenience; thank you for understanding.

We’ll see you next Friday at The 1716 B**r Garden at The Wayside Inn!
