Loyal Subjects - Guided tour

Discover the steadfast loyal subjects of England living on South Main Street, Keene, surrounding the Wyman Tavern. Coming from different backgrounds were, Dr. Josiah Pomeroy, Major Josiah Willard and Abner Sanger. Why might they have supported the King and not their neighbors? What risks and rewards might they encounter? Meet at the tavern and come inside to the Tap Room to learn more about why these three men might have chosen not to fight against mother England. None of them were tarred and feathered!
