Agawam, MA .. my old hometown ... geographical reference.
Capt. Charles Leonard House ~ historical structure on Main St.
"This historic structure dates from 1805 and was admitted to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
It was originally a tavern on the road from Hartford to points north where stage coaches deposited their tired passengers for overnight rest and refreshment before continuing on the next day with a fresh team of horses.
Restored in 1938, it boasts original fireplaces and woodwork and is furnished with many pieces of authentic furniture, making it well worth a visit in its own right. It now serves as a Community House for the Town of Agawam and, in its present state, offers a room capable of holding 75 people for events of various sorts."
