The road less traveled is often the best path to take. You never know what hidden gems are hiding just out of sight. The Plymouth, Massachusetts area is known for its cranberry bogs and historic attractions, but there are many other special spots in between. When you take the journey down the bumpy road to the Rye Tavern, a Massachusetts farm-to-table restaurant, you are headed towards a delicious meal.
Your journey to the Rye Tavern begins on Old Sandwich Road, an dirt road that is thought to be one of the oldest public streets in the entire country.
The history lesson continues when you arrive at the tavern. This fantastic eatery is housed in the historic Cornish Tavern, a building dating back to the 1700s.
Step back in history while enjoying some fantastic food. The tavern specializes in fresh farm-to-table cuisine.
A portion of the restaurant's produce is grown on-site in its very own Rye garden. Many of the other ingredients are sourced from local farms and markets.
When the weather is nice, you can also eat outside on the tavern’s beautiful patio.

On Monday afternoons (throughout the summer and into fall), the Rye Tavern also hosts a local farmers market. It is a great place to buy local honey, flowers, baked goods, fresh produce, and handmade items.
The market also features special activities for the kids.
