Wayside Inn Historic District
Wayside Inn Historic District, Historical district on Old Boston Post Road in Sudbury, United States.
The Wayside Inn Historic District encompasses multiple colonial buildings, including the main inn building dating from 1716 and a working grist mill.
The property remained under the ownership of the Howe family for five generations until 1861, serving travelers along the Boston Post Road.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow visited the inn in 1862 and later published Tales of a Wayside Inn based on his experiences there.
The district includes dining facilities, overnight accommodations, function spaces, and walking paths across 100 acres of preserved grounds.
Henry Ford purchased the property in 1923 and relocated a schoolhouse connected to the Mary Had a Little Lamb poem to the grounds.
