About

Take a sip of history while learning about Williams Ordinary, a historic tavern in Dumfries. Enjoy a unique experience in this local landmark by listening to colonial music, interacting with reenactors, and playing 18th-century games. This Tavern Night serves as the opening for Resolves to Revolution, a new exhibition exploring the impact of the American Revolutionary War on Prince William County. Visitors will also have the opportunity to taste a historically-inspired brew from Water’s End paired with a themed menu from Dixie Bones BBQ. This is a free 21+ event; food and drink will be available to purchase on site. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the Prince William Historic Preservation Foundation.
