|
Gadsby's Tavern Museum consists of
two buildings, a ca. 1785 tavern and the 1792 City Hotel. The buildings are
named for Englishman John Gadsby who operated them from 1796 to 1808. Mr.
Gadsby's establishment was a center of political, business, and social life in
early Alexandria. The tavern was the setting for dancing assemblies, theatrical
and musical performances, and meetings of local organizations. George Washington
enjoyed the hospitality provided by tavernkeepers and twice attended the annual
Birthnight Ball held in his honor. Other prominent patrons included John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the Marquis de Lafayette.
