A new tavern is coming to Carlsbad. It's called Green Dragon Tavern, and it's based on the Green Dragon Tavern in Boston, which was established in 1654. The tavern will be built on the site formerly occupied by Hadley's fruits and nuts. The property has been vacant for 10 years, and we're finally getting a new development. The site will officially be called Carlsbad's Green Dragon Tavern and Museum Colonial Village. The Colonial Village has plans to hire local history teachers to teach students about pilgrims and the Revolutionary War, in addition to being a restaurant and bookstore. They're moving along on construction, so it should open this year.
The original Green Dragon Tavern in Boston has a long and rich history, playing an important part in the freedom of Boston during the War of Independence. It opened in 1654, and is still going strong. It was a favorite of Paul Revere and John Hancock. Indeed, as has been ratified by Daniel Webster, the famous historian, that it was in the Green Dragon that the plans for the invasion of Lexington and Concord were overheard, thus starting the famous ride of Paul Revere.
Things are quite different today, as the practice of eavesdropping has long since stopped. They still serve a full lunch and dinner, and it's popular with visitors who enjoy dining in a working piece of history. Let's hope that the new, updated Green Dragon Tavern in Carlsbad, can have the longevity of the original. It's an interesting combination of restaurant and museum, but I'm hoping for something new and interesting.
