Holly Tree Inn
Date EstablishedLocation1870Boston
Description
The Holly Tree Inns was the inspiration and idea of Annie Adams Fields, wife of Boston publisher James T. Fields to provide dining for customers other than the wealthy. The first introduction was in 1870 and offered affordable meals for the working class and considered a coffee house that chose not to serve alcoholic beverages. The name was derived from a story by Charles Dickens entitled "The Boots at the Holly Tree Inn."

Cruising through many states of America, remnants of eateries of the past can still be found. Travel back to a stage in time with me to rekindle the memories of food franchises and the lost cuisine of bygone days. We can remember the presence of these dining experiences in their heyday long ago, but still etched in moments and recollections.
