(used to be part of main road before it was straightened)<br /><br />Have you read the actual section from Thoreau's book, about his visit to Ellisville? It's quite interesting.<br /><br />Having left Ship's pond & Centre Hill<br />24 Pond--and a cedar swamp on my left<br />25 I at length reached one Harlows to whom<br />26 I was recommended--but his neighbors said<br />27 that "he lived alone like a beast" there 10<br />28 years--I put up at Samuel Ellis', just<br />beyond the Salt Pond--near by-- Having278 29 walked<br />30 6 or 7 miles from Manomet--through a<br />31 singularly out of the way region, of which<br />32 you wonder if it is ever represented in the<br />33 legislature--<br /><br />There were 2 taverns at the time, the Harlow Tavern, and the Ellis Tavern. I'm afraid the neighbors exaggerated just a little. The Harlow tavern was burned in around 1866 and then another house was built on same foundation. That house is the Harlow Farmhouse that stands there today. Was a tavern from 1823 until 1866. And Mr Harlow may have lived there alone in 1867 but his brother lived across the street and his 2 sons lived in neighbors houses at the time. <br />You might enjoy going down Salt Marsh lane and take some pics of the Ellis Tavern.....PlimouthHistoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262371516712236976noreply@blogger.com
