Snap Dragon Tavern

Enjoy an Evening at the Snap Dragon Tavern, an 18^th 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 18^th 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 18^th 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.

Participants will be given English coin tokens to purchase beverages from the tavern keeper and will have the opportunity to sample at least 3 common tavern drinks of the period such as ale and punch. Various non-alcoholic beverages will also be available, all served in 18^th century mugs and tankards.
