Description:
An inn near Faneuil Hall became the John Hancock Tavern when Hancock became the first governor of the commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1780. Not much is known about the sign in Faneuil Hall, which belonged to the tavern at some time in its history and is a souvenir of one of the Hall’s long gone neighbors.
