Daniel Webster was a famous 19th-century U.S. lawyer and politician.

(This historic inn is named for Webster, who stayed at the tavern on this site regularly between 1815 and 1851.) Among its luxuries are massages, various body treatments, facials and add-ons, waxing, hand & foot treatments, a Men’s Spa, and bridal services. The Dan’l Webster Inn and Spa also offers overnight spa/accommodations packages.
