The Bell in Hand Tavern was established in 1795 by Jimmy Wilson, Boston's last known town crier. Good news or bad, Bostonians heard it from Jimmy. He reported on everything from the Boston Tea Party to the birth of the nation. Upon retirement, Jimmy opened a tavern and called it appropriately enough, The Bell and Hand. It is currently housed in a building that dates back to 1844. Daniel Webster, Paul Revere, and Wllliam McKinley were known to frequent the Bell in Hand Tavern.
