In the early morning hours of December 7, 2024, the Overfield Tavern Museum suffered a devasting fire that largely gutted the interior of the museum and did extensive damage to several later additions. Fortunately, the original 1808 log walls largely survived. In October 2025, extensive archaeological investigations were conducted, revealing over 18,500 artifacts. The museum is currently in the planning and research phase and anticipates restoration work to begin in late 2026.
