Elkins Tavern

The Elkins Tavern features a 2.5-story wood frame structure with a central chimney, clapboarded exterior walls, and a five-bay width main facade.

Jonathan Elkins constructed this tavern in 1787 after settling in Peacham, establishing it along the Bayley-Hazen Road during the early development of Vermont.

The interior layout reflects Georgian architecture with its central chimney plan, winding staircase, and traditional parlor spaces that showcase period craftsmanship.

The tavern stands on the east side of Bayley-Hazen Road, south of Peacham's main village, with a nineteenth-century barn located across the street.

The building maintains original eighteenth-century interior elements, including intact fireplaces, fireplace surrounds, and detailed wall wainscoting throughout its rooms.
