The Barnard Tavern has been closed for restoration for many years and we are excited to open its doors to visitors again. Come for a day of celebration and festivities to include special tours and activities, including horse-drawn wagon rides. At Hall Tavern we will have hearth cooking demonstrations featuring tavern fare, a craft activity for children, games in the bar room, and early 19th century music and dance in the assembly hall. Historic Trades Demonstrations will include Broommaking with Jennifer Roy, 18th Century Medicine with Greg Morin, and Coopering with Neil Muckenhaupt.
