Haunted hotels in the Boston area: Conclusion: Colonial Inn in Concord

Haunted Hotel in the Boston Area #3: Colonial Inn
 
48 Monument Square
Concord, MA 01742


The original building of the Colonial Inn was a home built in 1716. In 1775, part of it was used as a munitions storehouse by the Massachusetts Militia. In fact, those munitions were in the house when the British came looking for the militia's supplies on April 19, 1775. The building was turned into an inn in 1889. It took on its present name at the turn of the 20th century. Since that time, it has received such guests as U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, Shirley Temple and Faye Dunaway.  Read more of this article.
