General Info
The Old Ordinary is a remarkable example of early American architectural and cultural history, built on the main road from Boston for stagecoach travelers to stop "for an ordinary meal," a drink in the taproom and sometimes a bed for the night. A home and family business, the Ordinary served local travelers for over 150 years - a meeting place to exchange news, celebrate events, see friends and sample the latest batch of cider. Compromised of the original 1686 structure as well as additions dating from the 1750s and 1800s, the Old Ordinary's rooms are a treasure trove of times gone by. The property also includes the Olmsted Garden (1906,) the Old Fort (1685) and the Arts and Crafts Annex (1901.) A SEASONAL ATTRACTION. Due to planned restoration work, tours summer 2021 are by appointment only. Virtual tours are also available. Special events are planned for fall, including special Candlelight Tours in November.
