The Wayside Inn is a historic inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts, included on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the listed Wayside Inn Historic District.[1] It became an inn called Howe's Tavern in 1716, making it one of the oldest continuously operating inns in the United States.[2] The Beekman Arms Inn and others make various claims towards being "continuously operating", resulting from The Wayside Inn's closure period of 1861–1897 after the death of Lyman Howe.[3]
