Rider Tavern, Federal-style tavern in Charlton, Massachusetts.
The three-story wooden Rider Tavern stands on Stafford Street, featuring original architectural elements from its late 18th-century construction period.
Built in 1797 by architect Eli Wheelock, the tavern served as a primary stop for stagecoach travelers along the main road through Charlton.
The tavern functioned as a central meeting point for community gatherings and social events during the early development of Massachusetts.
The Charlton Historical Society maintains the property and conducts guided tours during summer months, allowing visitors to explore the historic structure.
The Library of Congress holds extensive documentation of the tavern through the Historic American Buildings Survey, dating back to 1933.
