Details |
The Catamount Tavern, originally known as Fay's Tavern, was built by Stephen Fay (1715-1781) around 1768-1770. Ethan Allen boarded there when he first came to Bennington and the Tavern was a meeting place of the Green Mountain Boys. After Stephen Fay's death in 1781 it was managed by his son Benjamin Fay, who died in 1786. His widow Sarah Robinson Fay kept is up for three years and gave up the Tavern in 1789, about a year prior to her marriage to Heman Swift of Cornwall, Connecticut. Thereafter it was a private residence. The house passed to Judge David Fay, who enlarged and remodeled it around the time of his marriage to Mary Staniford in 1790. The building burned down March 30, 1871. |
