Alden Tavern Site
Lebanon, United States
Alden Tavern Site is a historic site in Lebanon, Connecticut. The tavern was built in 1738 and owned by Captain Alden. Legend holds that Alden once horsewhipped British General Richard Prescott, commander of the British troops of Rhode Island, when he dined at the tavern. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 and listed under the "Event" and "Information Potential" criteria. It was listed as having only fieldstone foundations remaining. A parking lot was paved over the site in 2010, adding 26 paved spaces and 70 spaces in overflow parking on a grass field. It is now known as the Alden Tavern Parking Lot by the town of Lebanon.
