About Glazier Tavern

The Daniel Glazier Tavern sits at the west end of the Willington green. Daniel Glazier built this two-story, hip-roofed federal-period building around 1815 at a crossroads on travel routes. The Willington Historical Society has occupied it since 2009, after a donor gave the building and a surrounding three-acre lot to the society. The interior keeps early 19th-century features, including a large central chimney that served five fireplaces.
