Abstract

This research report attempts to fashion a picture of the Broadwells as innkeeper/farmers, useful in physical and interpretive planning. It is divided into a main text and appendices. The former is composed of chapters dealing with the early association of inn keeping and farming, with implements, crops and livestock typically found at documented farms associated with inns, with the Broadwell farming operations, and with farm labor and markets. In the appendices are tables summarizing the data from the agricultural and population censuses and probate inventories of one-time innkeeper/farmers. 66p.
