New Jersey was the “Crossroads of the American Revolution,” and as battles raged, colonial taverns formed the social network that held the state together. They were the center point of colonial villages – the places where people would meet to socialize, discuss ideas and do business.

Join us for some hot cider while author Michael Gabriele describes the crucial role of taverns – including Princeton’s famed Hudibras Tavern –  as “seedbeds” for the Revolution, strongholds for political activities, beacons for travelers, and venues for entertainment, merriment, and libations.
