Snap Dragon Tavern
November 8 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Enjoy an Evening at the Snap Dragon Tavern, an 18th century immersion into a 1760s tavern setting. Visit with a tavern keeper behind an authentic caged tavern at the infamous Snap Dragon Tavern where spirits are high and the worries of life are low. Enjoy a few 18th century libations and mingle with British soldiers, local French citizens and the hard-working fur traders of this bucolic place and time. Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Join the patrons inside the tavern and play select period games such as Faro, Chuck-a-luck, the Royal Game of Goose, and observe tavern-goers play the infamous game of Snap Dragon.
- Fill the room with gaiety as you hear and sing along with the songs and sea chanteys of the 18th century era.
- Dance on a lantern-lit courtyard with a British soldier or a French lady or gentleman in the warm ambient light.
- Converse with costumed historic interpreters in their vibrant military uniforms, or with gentleman in frock coats and ladies in their resplendent period gowns.
- Or just sit near the hearth of a warm fire in the tavern and drift into the ambience amidst friendly shadows of yesteryear with your tankard filled with a drink of your choice.
