Brigham's Tavern is a historic house and traveller's accommodation at 12 Boston Turnpike in Coventry, Connecticut. It is a clapboarded two-story wood frame structure, five bays with a central chimney. Two large additions extend from the rear and left of the main block. These three sections of the house are all of 18th century origin, with the rear addition believed to be the oldest part, dating to c. 1717. The tavern had a long history, serving travellers on the turnpike between Hartford and Boston, including George Washington on at least one occasion.[2] The property includes a second building, a c. 1870 barn[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
