Passed by the Rising Sun Tavern

I was unaware that there was a building in North Haven that was in the National Register of Historic Places, until I saw the Rising Sun Tavern listed in 43places.

So I went by there today. It looks like you can’t go inside but it was fun to see it from the outside!

Why is this building of historical significance? Good question.

According to the Connecticut State Guide from 1938, "beside the site of an old toll gate, is "Rising Sun Tavern" (about 1760), a tea room ina well-preserved red house end chimneys and an overhang at both stories. Its original double doors are still intact."

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the info. Where on earth did you get a Connecticut State Guide from 1938? :-)
