Mohawk Towpath Byway
Grooms Tavern, NY

Built about 1825, this Tavern catered to Erie Canal traffic and was the site of Clifton Park's first Town Board meeting in 1828. Successive meetings were held here through the 1860s. The building served as a tavern, hotel, and later a general store and post office for the hamlet of Grooms Corners. It is currently being restored, as funds become available, as a historical and cultural center for the Town of Clifton Park.
