The Medad Stone Tavern which was built in 1803 by Medad Stone to serve as a Tavern. As the Boston Post Road was not rerouted that way it never opened. The building has 14 rooms and 10 fireplaces. The Guilford Keeping Society inherited it from Len Hubbard in 2001. It was decided to restore it and open it as the "Tavern that opened 200 years late." The property also holds a barn, corn crib and extensive fields. It is located at 197 Three Mile Course.| The Guilford Keeping Society 171 Boston Street, P.O.
