The Sawyer Tavern is a historic building at 63 Arch Street in Keene, New Hampshire. This landmark 2-1/2 story frame house was built no later than 1803-06, and has a long record as a tavern and inn in West Keene. Although it is now filled with private residences, it served in both the 19th and 20th centuries as a tavern. It was built by Abraham Wheeler, Jr., a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, whose son-in-law Josiah Sawyer later took over the business.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
