What You’ll Experience
Step through the tavern door and back into 1776.
Candles flicker, glasses clink, and the air hums
with the energy of a nation about to be born.
Each TAVERN TALX250 is more than a lecture — it’s a living encounter with America’s past. You’ll hear true stories, bold opinions, and the very words that once sparked rebellion, delivered by Mr. U.S. History in his unmistakable style.
Think Murder Mystery meets History — with a time-travel twist.
You’ll share the room with other reenactors, characters from the era, and fellow guests dressed as either colonists or modern-day citizens. It’s part debate, part performance, and part Back-to-the-Future experience — where past and present meet over food, drink, and conversation.
Expect laughter, debate, and a little friendly disagreement — plus a reminder of what courage and conviction really sound like when shared across a table.
When you leave, you won’t just know more history — you’ll have experienced it.

Why the Tavern?
Before hashtags and headlines, there were taverns.
They were the heart of every colonial town —
the original social networks of the 18th century.
It’s where farmers, merchants, and thinkers gathered to share news, challenge ideas, and shape a new nation over
mugs of ale by the crackle of a fire.
That same energy lives on at TAVERN TALX250.
Each event is set in a historic tavern, where the voices of the past echo through the very walls that once heard them.
We’re not just remembering history — we’re recreating it.
Step inside, raise a glass, and
be part of the conversation that started it all.
Be Part of the Conversation
Stories That Stirred a Nation — Told Where They Were Once Debated
Two hundred and fifty years ago, ordinary people gathered in taverns to debate extraordinary ideas —
liberty, equality, independence.
Those ideas changed the world.
At TAVERN TALX250, we’re keeping that spirit alive —
one story, one debate, one evening at a time.
Join us, raise a glass, and add your voice to the next chapter of America’s story.
