This morning I found a web reference to "Marvin Tavern" on the National Register of Historic Places. With a little more searching I found: http://westporters.com/page.php?page=history_woog 1789 Washington visited Marvin Tavern (in Westport?) http://noyes.rootsweb.com/wga69.html Matthew Marvin (1706-1760) son of Samuel Marvin (1671-1743) kept a tavern in Lyme. http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:6Ffv9kORjJEJ:www.westporthistory.org/news/whsmarchapril2002.pdf+marvin+tavern+wilton+connecticut&hl=en Washington stayed overnight at Marvin Tavern "on Point Road West" The text might suggest that this took place in 1775. http://www.acorn-online.com/answer/b-hist.htm Marvin Tavern, "adjacent to Wilton High School" on National Register of Historic Places http://www.chc.state.ct.us/NR-Fairfield.htm Marvin Tavern (Matthew Marvin House), 405 Danbury Road, Wilton http://geonames.usgs.gov/ has an entry for "Marvin Tavern" So, now I'm wondering: are there more than one "Marvin Tavern"? is there general agreement whether/when George Washington visited the tavern? which Marvin was the proprietor?
