\u201a\u00c4\u00faThis community was well supplied with taverns in the old days and somewhat later. Far up in old Saxtonville stands an interesting tavern house, with its four stone chimneys and low stone walls. It seems to be at least 150 years old, but has no date stone to prove its age. The builder is unknown, as are also the early keepers. It was no doubt built expressly for that purpose, everything about it seeming to spell tavern. This was evidently included among the Nathaniel Saxton properties. Bryan Rogan is known to have kept the old tavern 75 years ago. After him came one\u201a\u00c4\u00eeKiley, and then Austin Bray. Thomas McAlone bought the property later. It is now owned and occupied by his son Wallace W., teacher of the Sergeant\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s School. No tavern has been kept here for about 60 years past.\u201a\u00c4\u00f91<\/a><\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The time has come to write of the Saxtonville Tavern. Ironic in a way, since I began this whole series on Raven Rock because of the tavern, and all this time I have had little to say about it.<\/p>\n
