The Wyman Tavern is a historic house, former tavern, and now a local history museum, at 339 Main Street in Keene, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1762 by Isaac Wyman, a veteran of the French and Indian War, who operated a tavern on the premises for 30 years. For more than 50 years in the 19th century it was home to Reverend Zedekiah Barstow, the last town-funded minister in Keene. In 1968 the property was acquired by a local non-profit, which leases it to the Cheshire County Historical Society for use as a museum.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
