Tavern Talk: Inside Annapolis’s Revolutionary-Era Taverns

Stop by Hogshead Trades Museum and explore tavern life in the busy port city of Annapolis during the Revolution. Join living historian Jacob Kirsch to discover how taverns served as more than places for food, drink, and lodging—they were gathering places for news, conversation, and community. Celebrate autumn with a sip of seasonal cider, observe a turnip Halloween carving, and discover other tavern traditions! This is a drop-in style program. Visitors may join at any time during program hours and explore at their own pace through informal interaction and demonstrations. Advance registration recommended but not required. Cost: FREE ($5 suggested donation)
