DAVID HOWE (Samuel, John), born in Sudbury, Mass., 2 Nov. 1674; married 25 Dec. 1700, HEPZIBAH DEATH, daughter of John and Mary (Peabody) Death, born in Framingham, Mass., 5 June i68o, died in Sudbury 15 April 1769. He died there 3 Aug. 1759. His father gave him one hundred and thirty acres of land of the “New Grant Land” 4 June 1702. Here he built the now famous tavern in Sudbury, first known as the “Howe Tavern,” and afterwards, from its sign-board, as the “Red Horse Tavern.” Some accounts have said that it was built over two centuries ago, but other and more accurate accounts state that it was built by the above David, about 1701 or 1702. Hudson’s Sudbury, p. 591; Temple’s Framingham, p. 599; Nason’s Howe Family Gathering. At any rate it was kept by David Howe and his descendants for about one hundred and sixty years. In an article in the Ladies’ Home Journal for Sept. 1899, it is stated that after the death of Squire Lyman, Howe, great grandson of David, “the property then went by inheritance to a female relative, who sold the property in 1897 to Mr. Edward R. Lemon, when the first deed of the estate in over two hundred years was drawn and passed.” The only previous deed, was the Indian deed signed in 1684. Mr. Lemon has restored the dwelling with careful regard for historic detail. It has been immortalized by Longfellow in the poem “The Wayside Inn” and has long been a favorite subject for artists and poets. An interesting account of it is found in Drake’s “Our Colonial Homes,” p. 159-168. The place has been known as “The Wayside Inn” for many years, and it has had visitors from all over the country. It has been purchased and is now owned by Henry Ford of Detroit, Mich., who has laid out a great amount of money in improvements and in the restoration of old-time buildings.

It is thus described by Longfellow:

“As ancient is this hostelry
As any in the land may be,
Built in the old Colonial day,
When men lived in a grander way,
With ampler hospitality;
A kind of old Hobgoblin Hall,
Now somewhat fallen to decay,
With weather stains upon the wall,
And stairways worn, and crazy doors,
And creaking and uneven floors,
A region of repose it seems,
A place of slumber and of dreams,
Remote among the wooded hills;
For there no noisy railway speeds,
Its torch-race scattering smoke and gleeds;
But noon and night, the panting teams
Stop under the great oaks, that throw
Tangles of light and shade below,
On roofs and doors and window-sills.
Across the road the barns display
Their lines of stalls, their mows of hay,
Through the wide doors the breezes blow,
The wattled cocks strut to and fro,
And, half effaced by rain and shine,
The Red Horse prances on the sign.”

The landlord himself (Squire Lyman Howe) is thus portrayed:
“But first the landlord will I trace;
Grave in his aspect and attire;
A man of ancient pedigree,
A justice of the Peace was he,
Known in all Sudbury as “The Squire.”
Proud was he of his name and race,
Of old Sir William and Sir Hugh,
And in the parlor, full in view,
His coat of arms, well framed and glazed,
Upon the Wall in colors blazed;
He beareth gules upon his shield,
A chevron argent in the field,
With three wolf s’ heads, for the crest
A wyvern parts-per-pale addressed
Upon a helmet barred; below
The Scroll reads, By the name of How.
And over this, no longer bright,
Though glimmering with a latent light,
Was hung the sword his grandsire bore
In the rebellious days of yore,
Down there at Concord in the fight.”

Among the ancient heirlooms kept there was an old sword, mentioned in the poem, worn by Colonel Ezekiel Howe, (son of David) in the battle of Concord.

Wayside Inn History
http://www.wayside.org/history.html

"The scroll reads, "By the name of Howe."
And over this, no longer bright,
Though glimmering with a latent light,
Was hung the sword his grandsire bore
In the rebellious days of yore,
Down there at Concord in the fight. "

From Tales of a Wayside Inn, by Longfellow

Longfellow's Wayside Inn was originally known as Howe's Tavern from 1716 to 1861. The first innkeeper, David Howe, operated what was then called a "hous of entertainment" along the old Boston Post Road in the same spot the Wayside Inn stands today. David and his wife Hebzibah's first home appeared quite a bit different than the Wayside Inn's rambling structure. It was typical by 18th century standards but small when compared to today's homes; two total rooms, one over the other. He raised his first five children in this house, and it is believed that he doubled its size, adding two more rooms, by the time he received a license to operate an inn in 1716. The size of the Howe's home and business would continue to grow as each subsequent innkeeper would leave his own mark on the Colonial landmark.

David Howe was a successful innkeeper -- his father and grandfather were innkeepers in the neighboring town of Marlborough -- and thrived by way of the busy coach traffic to and from the cities of Boston and Worcester. In 1746 he passed the family business to his son, Ezekiel, a Lt. Col. in the Revolutionary War who led the Sudbury Minute and Militia to Concord center on that fateful day of April 19, 1775.

Ezekiel was a prosperous innkeeper, acquiring a set of expensive export china for his daughter as a wedding gift in 1788 (a cup and saucer from this set is in the Inn's permanent collection). Ezekiel passed the tavern business to his son, Adam, in 1796, who in turn handed it down to his son, Lyman, in 1830. Lyman died in 1861 having never married, and the Inn was inherited by relatives who ceased operating the Howe home as an overnight accommodation. Local folks rented the hall for dances, and itinerant farmers occupied smaller rooms for lengthy stays, but the Howe innkeeping business would not thrive again until a wool merchant from Malden, Massachusetts showed new interest in 1897.

Edward Rivers Lemon, an admirer of antiquities, purchased the Inn as "a retreat for literary pilgrims,"capitalizing on the interest generated by a widely read book of poems published in 1863 by Henry Longfellow called Tales of a Wayside Inn. Longfellow visited the Howe Tavern in 1862, and based his book on a group of fictitious characters that regularly gathered at the old Sudbury tavern. Lyman Howe was the character featured in "The Landlord's Tale," where Longfellow's penned the immortal phrase "listen my children and you shall hear, of the midnight ride of Paul Revere." Lemon renamed the old Howe Tavern Longfellow's Wayside Inn and operated it with his wife, Cora, until his death in 1919.

History of the Red Horse Tavern owned by the Howe Family

Wayside Inn72 Wayside Inn Road, off Old Boston Post Road1702

The How family chose a location mid-way between Boston and Worcester on the Bay Path, as well as on a trail to Hartford, Connecticut. For two centuries after the granting of John How's original license for a tavern in 1661, the How family thrived as innkeepers. John's son, Samuel, applied for a license in 1692 and in 1694 built his own tavern. In turn, he deeded his son David 30 acres in 1702 on which to build another inn, which still stands, and was to become famous in Longfellow's "Tales of a Wayside Inn." This inn was a two-room building with a common room below and a chamber above and was known as "How's Tavern." By 1716, David How added "House Number Two" to the original building, consisting of a room downstairs and one upstairs, both to the left of the original Inn's entrance. David's son Ezekiel became proprietor of the Inn in 1774 and changed the name to the "Red Horse Tavern." Lt. Col. Ezekiel How led the 4th Regiment of Middlesex County Militia on April 19, 1775
