The Union Tavern was built in 1818. In 1848, cabinet maker Thomas Day purchased the property for use as his residence and workshop until 1859.  Now commonly known as the Thomas Day House, a fire severely damaged the structure in 1989, prompting citizens to organize the Thomas Day House and & Union Tavern Restoration, Inc, a non-profit committed to restoring the historic building for use as a museum. Currently a large portion of the ground level has been restored, showcasing several pieces of Day’s magnificent work. The Thomas Day House & Union Tavern is designated a National Historic Landmark.
