 gathering places for locals and travelers alike\, taverns were key sites
 for information and debate.  As the imperial crisis peaked in the early
 months of 1775\, wayside spots like the Golden Ball Tavern and the Josiah
 Smith Tavern found themselves as nodes for information\, espionage\, and
 passage for British soldiers and American patriots.  Taverngoers  read
 the newspapers from Boston and beyond\, shared the latest gossip on
 anti-imperial resistance and British policy making\, and worried about what
 the future held.  In other words\, the Revolution may not have begun in a
 tavern\, but it had to stop there for food and
 drink.”\n\n_________________________________________________________\n\nD
