"The cover shows tavern of Noah Pierce (a.k.a. Pearce), later known as The Lafayette House, stood at Worthington Corners on the site of the present library for more than a century. Believed to have built around the time of the Revolution, it was an important stopping place on the Boston to Albany Turnpike for many years. It was here that the Marquis de Lafayette and his entourage spent the night of June 13, 1825 on their way from Albany to Boston to lay the cornerstone of the Bunker Hill Monument. On the following morning, a reception was held in his honor by the villagers. By the turn of the century the old tavern had fallen into a state of disrepair and the Rev. Dr. Harlan Creelman, who owned the property to the south, became the possessor of the historic old inn. He salvaged much of its fine millwork including beams, mantles, oak flooring, doors, paneling and a handsome balustrade which he had built into the south wing of the Ashmore Lodge next door. (now Epperly) This was done in 1901 and the lot stood vacant until the library was built there in 1915. A giant elm stood at the northeast corner of the tavern lot and was used for posting public notices. When the tree was removed around 1930 to allow for widening the highway, stong protests were registered in vain. The old tavern and the big elm are gone but not forgotten."
