The Griswold Inn
The Griswold Inn, located in Essex, Connecticut, is the oldest continuously run tavern in the United States of America.〔Historical Inns (Article ), retrieved 2006-8-28〕 Founded by three brothers in the late 18th century and named after the Griswold Family of the area, it has been under the stewardship of only six families. The inn was captured by British troops and used as a base of operations during the War of 1812.〔Family Travel Guides (Article ), retrieved 2007-11-3〕 During prohibition the inn still maintained a lively entertainment schedule for the local yachtsmen. Over the years several surrounding buildings were added to the inn complex, each with its own unique history. The inn was also used as a filming location for the gothic soap opera ''Dark Shadows''.

The walls of the inn hold numerous historic artifacts. Paintings of famous vessels from the age of sail and steam are prominently displayed. The Gun Room has an impressive collection of rare firearms. The inn has the largest privately held collection of the works of Antonio Jacobsen, the country's most prolific painter of maritime art.〔Ryan, Bill. ("Which Inn Is Older? Well, It Depends..." ), ''The New York Times'', November 22, 1992. Accessed December 25, 2007. "The inn's public rooms make up a giant gallery for maritime paintings, including the largest private collection of the works of Antonio Jacobsen, a major painter of ships in the early part of this century."〕
