Facts:
- Built in 1759 and is the oldest pre-Revolutionary War tavern remaining.
- Located at 125-127 Spruce Street it catered to a less than genteel crowd.
- Was at one point known as the "Man with a Load of Mischief" with a sign of a man giving a woman a piggyback ride, rather than the sign standing today.
- Throughout its history of successive ownership, the tavern was also a hotel known for their oysters, and a wholesale chicken market.
- The tavern was renovated and opened for tours in the 1960s and an archaeological dig took place in 1966.
- The tavern closed to tourists in 1994.
- The tavern now seems to be a home because when I took these photos I noticed a woman changing her baby on the sofa inside.
