A landmark for travelers for over 200 years, Tuckerman's Restaurant and Tavern at the New England Inn boasts a rich and proud heritage among the region's famous old wayside hostelries. The Eastern Slope of the White Mountains was still a vast, untamed wilderness when the original farmhouse was built on this site by Samuel Bloodgood, in 1809.The entire region counted only a few primitive taverns along the rough roads through the mountain defiles, but the hungry and weary traveler was always sure of warm hospitality at any farmhouse with a substantial meal, a good bed for himself and a stall for his horse.
