SUMMARY:Colonial Field Tavern @ Battle of St George Island
DESCRIPTION:Immersive 18th Century Tavern Experience  \nOutside the church\, the tavern was the most important institution in most towns.  Taverns were used as meeting places for political assemblies (like the militia or the courts).   When people needed to conduct business meetings or hold markets\, their choices were generally the church or the tavern.  Since the Colonial Legislatures often offered inducements to tavern owners\, they saw these businesses as “operating for the common good\,” which ultimately meant that tavern meeting rooms could be appropriated for government business like courts\, polls\, and meetings of the militia. People relied on taverns as the primary means of spreading news and ideas.  Newspapers and stories were often shared by travelers in taverns.  As conflicts erupted between the Crown and her colonies in the 1760’s\, it was in the taverns that men discussed their responses and ultimate aims.  It was in the colonial tavern that the revolutionary spirit launched our nation.  Without taverns\, it is likely that the various colonies would have remained separate and subjugated to the greater British Empire. \n“To drink at a table without drinking to the health of someone special\, should be considered drinking on the Sly\, and as an act of incivility.”   – Poor Richard \nPatrons are invited to an evening of storytelling and merriment during which they can enjoy and 18th Century tavern experience complete with period beer\, cocktails\, competitive toasts\, various entertainments\, and maybe even a rousting political debate.  We will not serve food nor will be perform music but can assist the site in contracting of musicians\, food\, and other aspects of the tavern experience which will complete the evening.

SUMMARY:Talk on Importance of Taverns in Colonial America
DESCRIPTION:Presentation to the William Penn Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Abington\, PA  \n  \nSince the records were discovered in the late 1970’s\, numerous presentations\, books\, movies/TV shows\, and presentations have been made about George Washington’s spies.  These presentations are almost exclusively centered on the MEN (like Nathan Hale) who conducted covert operations for the Continental Army and Continental Congress.  These men\, while important\, constituted less than half of the intelligence operatives in the American Revolution. \nTo be a good spy one needs to be unobserved.  In the chauvinistically male-oriented society of 18th Century England (and by extension Colonial America)\, women had a decided advantage over men when it came to collecting and transmitting secrets.  Often\, they were simply not seen so they could move through polite company\, eavesdrop and pass through checkpoints knowing it would be an affront to propriety for them to be bodily searched or challenged.  The best spies in both the American and British intelligence network were women\, especially slave women. \nThe Admiral of the Blue Apron™\, in his guise as Revolutionary Spymaster will discuss Women Spies in the American Revolution at the April meeting of the William Penn Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution on April 9 at 1900 at the Abington Presbyterian Church (1082 Old York Rd\, Abington\, PA 19001) .  Typical\, the Revolutionary Spymaster focuses on generic programming on spies\, but in this presentation\, he will focus not only on the practice of spy craft during the American Revolution\, but also the women who were often the unsung\, even unknown\, heroes of the war.   While there were spies from all corners of society\, in this program we will discuss the wartime careers of 10 women who were employed\, either by George Washington\, General Howe or General Clinton (or in a few cases BOTH SIDES)\, to collect and transmit key information from within the enemy’s camp in both New York City and Philadelphia.   We will discuss several known spies (most are still unknown to us\, even today) and we will discuss how these women were uniquely capable of collecting valuable intelligence and the impact their work had on the progress of the war. \nHands on exhibits on codes and cyphers as well as the Admiral of the Blue Apron’s punchbowl (known to loosen a few tongues) will be available.
