Colonel James Minot built the eastern section of Concord's Colonial Inn in 1716, and cabinetmaker Ammi White once lived here. Feel the layered history beneath your feet: three once‑separate houses were joined into a single building in 1897, and the central section you face today served as an ammunitions store during the Revolutionary War. Nearby, the Village Forge Tavern room was used as a storeroom for supplies, evidence of practical lives lived here long before it became a hotel in 1889.
For three years it was known as The Colonial House, or The Colonial, until it received its current name in 1900. It has held a place on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the listed Concord Monument Square–Lexington Road Historic District and is counted among the oldest properties on that Register. More recently, the inn has been a member of Historic Hotels of America since 2005.
Notice the joined roofs of three once-separate houses, overlooking Monument Square from its northwestern side since 1900.
