Leave your 21st century troubles behind and spend an evening in a colonial tavern at the Old Barracks Museum’s Tavern Night Fundraiser on Sept. 16.
The Old Barracks Museum will transform into a colonial tavern filled with music, drinks and candlelight.
Musicians will perform popular songs from the 18th century, and dance master Sue Dupre will provide dance instruction for those who wish to dance but do not yet know the steps.
Period dress is neither required nor discouraged, and you will find many people from the past and present mingling together.
Hors d’oeuvres and an open bar of beer and wine will be provided throughout the evening.
Bid on a wide range of items in the silent auction, including tickets to Disney World, four tickets to a New York Jets game, family portraits, a one-week stay in a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina beach house, and many more prizes donated by local businesses.
Tavern Night will be on Friday, Sept. 16 from 7 to 10 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase online at barracks.org or visiting the Old Barracks Museum Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ticket prices are as follows: $60, or $50 for Old Barracks Museum members. No one under 21 permitted.
All proceeds from the fundraiser support educational programming for more than 10,000 New Jersey students through the museum’s “Meet the Past” field trips. For information on the Old Barracks Museum’s educational programming, call (609) 396-1776.
