Stage Coach Inn Fire - Groton MA August 2, 2011

Taped at approx 11:30 PM the night of the fire, August 2, 2011. Really tragic...you can rebuild a structure, but you can't rebuild history and this place had plenty of history!

Here is some text taken from their website:

The Old Groton Inn & Tavern is actually one of Old New England's earliest lodging hotel, restaurant, and bed and breakfast establishments. Its foundations date back almost a full century before the American Revolution. Built originally in 1678 and formerly known as the Groton Inn, The Groton Inn was accepted on August 3, 1976 for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places administrated in the Commonwealth by the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

Here is a link to their webpage for more info about the history of the Inn. As of this posting is still up: http://www.grotonstagecoachinn.com/

We stayed here on July 9th of this year and we met the owner. HE put his blood, sweat, and NOW tears into this historic landmark. This place was his life.

Was it burned on purpose for insurance money????
