I’ve mentioned before that I had a lot of my dad’s old slides digitized early last year. None of the pictures was indexed and they weren’t organized in any way—chronologically, by subject, nothing. Figuring out what some of them were or when they were taken has taken a certain amount of detective work.
Take the picture I’ve reproduced above, for example. I believe it to be a picture of Wright’s Tavern in Plymouth, Massachusetts, an 18th century tavern where the Concord Minutemen met prior to the Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1775.
But I’m not sure.
If it is Wright’s Tavern, it was probably taken around 70 years ago, when my parents were on their honeymoon or on the New England trip my dad took before my parents were married.
If anyone reading this post can substantiate my guess or can propose an alternative, I’d appreciate it.
It’s the Wright Tavern in Concord, MA. Looks like it’s still there.
