Alexandria - Gadsby's Tavern Museum

A visit to the Gadsby's Tavern Museum is a great way to step back in time and experience the 18th Century in Alexandria. The museum is divided between two properties, the tavern and the City Hotel, both built in the late 1700s. On display at Gadsby's Tavern Museum are a variety of antique items that belonged to the owner, John Gadsby.

Visitors can visit the museum by day or by night on Friday night Lantern Tours during the summer. Or, for a more personal experience try attending one of the 18th century Balls or other programs hosted by the museum.
