Colonial Myths Busted, Again!

Join this guided tour in the Wyman Tavern to discuss the many falsehoods told on historic house tours, focusing on the 18th century in New England. Walk through both floors of the tavern rooms and learn about the real facts behind some common myths, like this one: “Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite.” Meet the “bed bug” from our collection. Becky Barton has updated her original 2019 tour with new information and objects.
