Open House & Lunch
Tavern Hall Preservation Society

Thomas Potter. On 5 March 1781, Col. Potter served as host of General George Washington and his officers in the house on a final stop on their famed journey to confer with General Rochambeau in Newport, Rhode Island where the two commanding generals possibly planned Rochambeau's mobilization and the decisive Siege of Yorktown.
On fair day, Tavern Hall will be open for visitors to explore the history of the Society. Members will be on hand to tours of an out-building on the property that was used as a kindergarten in the early 20th century. The building has been refurbished and furnished as it may have appeared at that time.
Sandwiches and cider will be available for purchase (free to members) between 11.00 am and 1.00 pm.
