An historical marker placed in front of Longfellow\u2019s Wayside Inn<\/a> in Sudbury<\/a> notes that General George Washington traveled past this location, then called the Red Horse Tavern, on his way to assume command of the Continental Army in June 1775.<\/p>\n

The marker\u2019s text recounts the occasion:<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON
\nPASSED THIS PLACE
\nON HIS WAY TO
\nCAMBRIDGE
\nTO TAKE COMMAND
\nOF THE
\nPATRIOT ARMY
\nJUNE 1775 JULY<\/p>\n

ERECTED BY
\nOLD ESSEX CHAPTER S.A.R.
\nLYNN MASS.<\/p>\n

This historic tavern has other connections to the Revolution. The How Family (spelled Howe after the 18th century), who operated the establishment across five generations, had several members who served in the war, including its second proprietor, Ezekiel How. He served as Lieutenant Colonel of Sudbury\u2019s South Militia under Captain Moses Stone and led the company to Concord<\/a> on April 19, 1775. How went on to command the 4th Middlesex Regiment as colonel from May 1776 to February 1779.<\/p>\n

Even long after the war, the mythos and legend surrounding the country\u2019s struggle for independence are connected to the tavern. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow\u2019s poem \u201cPaul Revere\u2019s Ride,\u201d a staple of literary Americana, was published in his 1863 compilation, Tales of a Wayside Inn<\/em>\u2014the inspiration for the establishment\u2019s current name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
