Gadsby’s Tavern Museum Open for George Washington’s Birthday

Gadsby’s Tavern Museum will be open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, February 17 in honor of George Washington’s Birthday (observed). 

The museum’s history buildings were originally saved in part for their many connections to George Washington, including hosting his Birthnight Ball, something we might call a birthday party today. Gadsby’s Tavern Museum’s two buildings, a ca. 1785 tavern and the 1792 City Tavern and Hotel, tell the story of the young Republic General Washington helped establish. Visitors can learn more about this transformative time and the people who lived through it. Open 11 a.m.-4 p.m., guests can explore on their own or take a guided tour at 1:15, 2:15, or 3:15 p.m.
