The Tavern stood on site of current Worthington Library in Worthington Corners. It was where the Marquis de Lafayette stayed during his 1825 visit to Worthington, after which it was renamed "Lafayette House." Parts of the original building were incorporated into the Creelman/Epperly House, the building immediately to the south of the library.

This photo was used in the second edition of Papers on the History of Worthington. Frank Feakes makes note of the planting of the elm (post Lafayette's visit) and suggests that Lafayette may have stood outside the gabled section of the Pierce Tavern which fronts on Buffington Hill Road.

This scene is located at the corner of Buffington Hill Road and Huntington Road.]]>
