Artifact Overview
One option for early motorists in search of overnight lodging was to stay in an old stagecoach inn, like Longfellow's Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts. The inn, named after a popular book of poems written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1863, first opened as Howe's Taven in 1716. In 1923, Henry Ford restored the inn and opened it to travelers.
