The Wright Tavern, built in 1747 and kept by Amos Wright in 1775, was the meeting place of the Committees of the Provincial Congress on the eve of the Revolution while the larger body sat in a Meeting House close by. In the early morning of April 19, 1775, it served as headquarters of the Minutemen. Later that day, it became headquarters of the British under the command of Colonel Smith and Major Pitcairn.
