The Scene – While this building has been operating as a hotel since 1889, it has been in existence since 1716. Throughout the property's 300-year history, it has served as a private residence and hosted the likes of Henry David Thoreau and B.F. Skinner. You will be hard-pressed to find a more genuine colonial experience. A stay here assures easy access to area favorites such as the Concord Museum, Ralph Waldo Emerson House and Minute Man National Historical Park. – – The Details – Accommodations range from standard guest rooms to suites to apartments.

Warm & Friendly Music Venue
by jazzfolk
The Village Forge Tavern at the 300 year old Colonial Inn has been hosting live music for around 40 years. It is a warm and intimate setting built with old barnboard walls and beams which resonate in a complimentary way with the upright piano and acoustic bass, guitars and drums played by the musicians who perform every week. The capacity of the room is 50 and the setup is close and personal with shared table seating. The sound level is comfortable for listening and sometimes gets so exciting that the audience dances in the aisles. There has been traditional Dixieland style jazz played there from the start, then folk, blues and classic jazz performers have been added to the schedule over the last 20 years. Never a music cover charge, but the musicians do appreciate tips from the audience. You can eat a full dinner or salads, sandwiches and pizzas....
The house band on the weekends, the Workingman's Band, accompanies a variety of jazz and blues acts every Friday and Saturday. Great local performers are regulars with the band, plus occasional special guests with a national reputation such as Charles Neville or Toni Lynn Washington.

- Pros: Intimate Acoustic Jazz, Blues & Folk Music
- Cons: Small Room Fills Up Fast

Quaint Town
by psboston7
What made it unique or special?We stayed here back in October when I went home (Boston) because we got a excellent rate (Historical Hotels of America employee rate) we stayed out in a Cottage which was a bit spooky but it worked and it had a large kitchen a separate room with 2 twin beds PERFECT for a family and the main bedroom had a four poster queen size bed that sit it what used to be a living room I am guessing. This cottage is a duplex and we stayed on the lower level so we could here our neighbors above us periodically through the night.
The cottage is away from the main building so keep this in mind if you are staying during the cold winter months. The restaurant does not have room service so you can buy what you like as a "take out" and bring it back to your room. I would say overall I liked the location and it sits in a quaint town that has delightful restaurants which you can walk to if you do not wish to eat at the inn. It was hard to find due to directions given on mapquest so I would suggest going to either the Inn website for directions or Google maps.
The pub has a live band in on some evenings so if making reservations be sure to ask where your room is located in regards to where the pub is.
