Legend says the Raucous Boar stands on the site of an ancient watchtower from a forgotten war, now long buried beneath the town. Some claim the boar motif was chosen because the watchtower’s defenders once raised a boar’s head as a rallying symbol against invaders. Old timers say if you listen closely near the hearth late at night, you can still hear ghostly snorts and hoofbeats beneath the tavern’s floor.
