Golden Ball Tavern, Colonial tavern museum in Weston, Massachusetts.
The Golden Ball Tavern features Late Georgian architecture with a two-story wood frame structure, hip roof, and traditional wooden clapboards on Boston Post Road.
Built in 1768 by Captain Isaac Jones, the establishment shifted from a Loyalist stronghold to supporting independence during the American Revolutionary War period.
The museum displays more than seventy percent of original Jones family items, documenting six generations of Massachusetts colonial and post-colonial life.
Monthly guided tours from February through November provide detailed information about colonial tavern operations and the daily routines of early settlers.
The museum presents the American Revolution through a different lens by examining the experiences of Loyalists who later converted to the independence cause.
