"THE YANKEE SILVERSMITH INN"
An early American inn serving old-fashioned New England food and drink attracts travelers and gourmets, not occasionally, but often. Pine paneling, dark beams, collections of silver and pewter, and old prints appropriately depict silversmithing, for which the area is famous. Five private rooms accommodating 300 persons are most versatile. The Silversmith Parlour Car, an 1894 R.R. coach restored with the original paneling, velvets, marble, and brass, offers cocktails and entertainment. The Silversmith Country Store is truly an experience. Facilities for the handicapped. Braille menu. Exit 66, W. Cross Parkway, or Exit 15, I-91, Wallingford, Connecticut.
