Old Lyme, Conn. (September 21, 2018) — On Saturday, September 29th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00p.m., the public will have a rare opportunity to visit the Peck Tavern, a historic tavern that is now a residence in Old Lyme, to learn about its storied past. The Peck Tavern is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and currently for sale with William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty agent Colette Harron.
A local landmark, the tavern is the only surviving intact 18th century tavern in town. With distinguished architectural character and a long history as a major stopping place on the main thoroughfare along the shoreline, this property is a must see for history lovers and historic home buyers.
“The tavern is a unique piece of Old Lyme history,” said Jane Montanaro, Executive Director of the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation. “The current owners have been careful stewards of the property. This is a great opportunity for the public to visit a privately owned landmark.”
The Trust, a non-profit whose mission in part is to promote the value of preserving historic places, is co-sponsoring the event as part of its “Open House Talks” held around the state in partnership with local Realtors. Talks on the history and recent restoration of the house will be given at 10:30, 11:30 and 12:30. The event is co-sponsored by William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty agent Colette Harron and the Florence Griswold Museum.
The Peck Tavern is located at 1 Sill Lane in Old Lyme. Parking is available at the site. To help the Trust prepare for the event, attendees are requested to RSVP by visiting www.cttrust.org or calling 203-562-6312.
