Boyd's Tavern, Historic tavern in Boydton, United States.

The two-story frame building of Boyd's Tavern features three bays, a side-gable roof, and stands on a fieldstone foundation in Virginia.

Alexander Boyd Sr. established this tavern around 1785, which influenced the selection of Boydton as the county seat for Mecklenburg County.

The Boyd Tavern Foundation maintains the property as a museum that documents local history from the Revolutionary War through the Civil Rights Movement.

The tavern at 449 Washington Street offers rental spaces for events and provides free self-guided tours during scheduled gatherings throughout the year.

The property includes a family cemetery used by the Shepherd family, who maintained ownership of the tavern from the mid-1800s until 1937.
