Under the tree to the Tavern
James Stoodley's Tavern, built in 1761, was a gathering place of Revolutionary patriots and a destination of Paul Revere's visit in 1774. It was also a site of colonial auctions of bulk goods, and sometimes enslaved people.
It was moved across town in Portsmouth when it was slated for demolition in 1964. The building that stands in Stoodley's original location is now slated for demolition after about 40 years. Ironic isn't it?
