Gadsby's Tavern But Read the Post (Alexandria Field Trip) Below Before Looking at These


Drawing of the tavern (left) and hotel (right). 






Ballroom with musician balcony above and here you have the pricey Prussian blue paint.


Portable piano with folding legs making it portable.




Velvet drapes.  Here too you can see the Prussian blue paint.


Plates of oysters.



Table setting complete with rum punch fixings.  The conical object is sugar.  Sugar was an expensive luxury and people would share it.  They'd pinch tidbits from the cone with an instrument that is on the table.




This is the table in the private dining room set with George Washington's supposed favorite meal.



One of the rooms men would have slept in for the night.
