Groton Inn

The Groton Inn is a historic lodging establishment at 128 Main Street containing 60 rooms housed in a rebuilt structure that mirrors the original building's architectural character. The ground floor holds the Forge & Vine restaurant, which serves food made with local ingredients and stocks a bar focused on regional craft beers.

The lodging place was established in 1678 and remained a significant location in town through the following centuries. A fire destroyed the original structure in 2011, leading to a complete reconstruction finished in 2017 that maintains the historical architectural style.

The building served as a gathering place for St. Paul's Masonic Lodge from 1797 to 1847, attracting local members who met here regularly. This connection to the community's social fabric remains part of how people understand the place today.

The building sits on Main Street in a central location that is easily accessible from the road. The integrated restaurant and bar provide convenient dining options without needing to leave the property.

The NOA Gallery on the first floor displays works from local artists, connecting visitors directly with the region's art scene. Finding a gallery within a historic inn creates an unexpected encounter with contemporary creativity.
