Another 1963 Spencer

This is another photograph of mine from 1963.  It was the farm of Leonard Hubbard, just down the road from the Spencer family farm, "Westside" in Guilford, Connecticut.  The building at the left is called the "Medad Stone Tavern."  The Medad Stone Tavern was built in 1803 by Medad Stone to serve as a Tavern. He had built it away from the town green because he thought the Boston Post Road would be rerouted. As it was not rerouted that way, it never opened. It has 14 rooms and 10 fireplaces!  For almost 200 years it was farmed by the Davis family.  In 2001 Leonard Davis Hubbard bequeathed the Tavern to the Guilford Keeping Society. It is now a museum operated by The Guilford Keeping Society.  As a young boy, I knew Leonard Hubbard - he was a friend of my father and my uncle.
