Note 21 — CAPTAIN JOHN O’BRIEN OF MACHIAS, MAINE—REVOLUTIONARY HERO—A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

The Burnham Tavern is still standing in Machias, and is now owned by the local Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is the repository of relics of the Revolution. The building is practically the same, in appearance, as when the “O’Brien boys,” and other Machias patriots gathered there at the opening of the War for Independence, and discussed ways and means for the defense of their liberties.
