Tavern Talks: Liberty or Death

Will you join the Cause or support the Crown? On Thursday, September 13^th from 7-9 p.m., explore the American Revolution from a variety of perspectives. Converse with a camp follower (portrayed by Deborah Peterson) and learn about women’s role with the army. Sing along to sea shanties and learn some sailor phrases to make life on the sea more bearable. Brandywine Battlefield Park will test your skill with soldier drills to determine if you would have been recruited. If you are not convinced to join the American Cause, it has been rumored that a British soldier may be trying to recruit potential soldiers for the Crown. Finally, explore Revolutionary War-era symbols and signs from Philip Marc Sons of Liberty. What side would you choose?

Tavern Talks is a monthly experience (not a lecture!) aimed exclusively for adults 21 and older that focuses on unexplored aspects of early American history and culture. Guests will experience history with hands-on activities, food and drink tastings, demonstrations, and more. Tavern Talks takes place at the Chadds Ford Historical Society’s Barns Brinton House, an historic 1714 tavern, located next to the Chaddsford Winery at 630 Baltimore Pike. Admission is $20 for non-members and $15 for members. Tickets must be purchased in advance over the phone, in person or online as space is limited. All attendees must be 21 and older.

Be sure to mark your calendars for other Tavern Talks we will be doing throughout the year, including:

October 11 – Fermented & Tormented

November 8 – Sugar & Spice
