Summary

Back in 1842, this tavern became the epicenter of the Dorr Rebellion — a parallel Rhode Island government that was vying to allow all men in the state to vote. The rebellion turned violent, but it did force some changes. Today the ancient tavern is haunted by spirits from many eras. Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger belly up to the haunted Tavern on Main in Chepachet, Rhode Island, searching for ghosts.
