Eat, Drink, Revolution: Our Friend the Tavern

As Virginia’s colonial capital, Williamsburg boasted many taverns, several of which are still standing or represented in reconstructed form on their original sites today. We invite you to pull up a chair to the table for a conference that explores taverns as places for both serving food and drink and as important gathering places throughout the centuries, particularly in the years leading up to and through the American Revolution.  

Due to overwhelming popularity, in-person registration is SOLD OUT. Virtual registration is available. Fee: $100. 

Virtual registration includes access to all Hennage Auditorium presentations through the conference streaming platform as livestreams with the option to participate virtually in any Q&A opportunities, access to the streaming platform presentations as recordings through December of 2025, and a 7-day ticket voucher to Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area, valid for redemption through May of 2026.
