This program offered by an educator from the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History recounts tavern life of colonial time, in Mystic and throughout Connecticut. Taverns in early Connecticut were more than just a place to drink. Travelers and locals alike saw taverns as a place to be entertained, spread news and gossip, have a good meal, and get a night's lodging. Learn about how taverns were an essential part of every Connecticut town.
