The story

Entrepreneur Lewis Wiggins built the Colonial Revival hotel in 1927, aiming ‘to construct faithfully an Early American Tavern’. The hotel traces the idea to Wiggins Tavern, opened in 1786 in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, by his ancestor Benjamin Wiggins. Wiggins collected antiques for the hotel and by 1937 employed a full-time antiquarian curator with a staff of up to 15.
