THE HISTORY of the inn.

In 1862 the house was purchased by John Alphonzo Briggs who was seventh generation descendant of Richard Warren who came to New England on the Mayflower in 1620. John was born in 1810 and became a successful entrepreneur. He was a ship carpenter and ship builder. He launched twelve vessels from South Freeport shipyard and was listed as master carpenter for eight of them. His largest vessel was the "JOHN A. BRIGGS", 2110.27 tons with three decks and three masts. Over seven thousand people watched the launching of the vessel in 1878 including the governor of Maine and his assistant James A. Garfield, who later on became President of the US.
