Charlton Tavern

Established in 1960. 1969, under its recent ownership, a large-scale renovation and restoration was undertaken. The hand-hewn beams in the ceilings were exposed and the old floors refurbished. The interior walls were re-constructed with materials from yester-year. The fireplace brick was transplanted from beehive ovens found in the cellar and combined with freestanding mantel beams to form the old fireplace. All of this, required many hours of TLC, but like an old shoe, it wore well!Surrounded by his family, William T. Maloney passed January 4, 2009 at home. A funeral procession lead by his beloved wife Ethel, proudly walked through snow covered Charlton for the last time, flanked by family, friends and Irish Bagpipers.On January 9th, 2009 the Charlton Tavern also passed due to a fire. With the love and support of family and community, not unlike the fabled “Phoenix rising from the ashes.” The Heart of Charlton has been refitted and returned to its rightful place of meetings and gatherings for all.
