Publick House Historic Inn And Country Motor Lodge - A Colonial-era inn with two restaurants, historic ballroom, and 18th-century bake shop
Dating back to 1771, this historic Sturbridge hotel combines four distinct accommodation buildings offering 128 total rooms, including 15 suites. Publick House Historic Inn features traditional New England dining across two restaurants: the Historic Tap Room with its six-foot open-hearth fireplace and Ebenezer's Tavern, both serving traditional Yankee fare. An 18th-century Bake Shoppe operates daily from 7 AM to 7 PM (9 PM on weekends), producing fresh pastries and pecan sweet rolls. The grand ballroom showcases post-beam cathedral ceilings, Palladian windows, and chandeliers overlooking the Bake Shoppe Patio. The property includes perennial gardens, stone walls, and a garden tent area accommodating up to 220 guests. The Publick House lies one-quarter mile from the junction of Boston-New York and Springfield-Providence highways, with Worcester Regional Airport 25 miles away.
