Dr. LuAnn Wurst and her students at SUNY Brockport (NY) have done a
comparative study of a "local" tavern and one that was built along a
road that saw increased tourist/stagecoach traffic as Niagara Falls
became a tourist destination.  Period was the early 19th century--1830s?
Papers were presented at the 2002 Norwich, NY meeting of the New York
Archaeological Association, I believe.  You should be able to contact
Dr. Wurst through Dept. Anthropology SUNY-Brockport.

Subject: Tavern Archaeology

I am currently working on my master's thesis (Historic Preservation) at
the University of Kentucky.

I am researching a 1827 purpose built Tavern on the Lexington- Cincintti
Road. The building is still standing and my thesis is an adaptive reuse
of the building. I am interested in information on other taverns
(standing or not) from the 1800 - 1840 time period, including
archeaelology, floor plans, inventories, etc.

Any information is appreciated. Please respond (off-list) to:
