The annual Old Barracks Museum’s Tavern Night Fundraiser takes place Friday, September 14, from 7 to 10 p.m.
The event features live music, food, and drink — setting the scene of an evening in 18th-century Trenton, when King George II ruled and the tavern was the center of town.
Attractions include period dance and music with dance master Sue Dupre providing instruction, noted musicians John Burkhalter and Russell Hoffman performing on period instruments, food by Chambers Walk Cafe, beverages by River Horse Brewing Company, and silent auctions.
Organizers say “period dress is neither required nor discouraged, and you will find many people from the past and present mingling together.” The fundraiser supports the Barracks’ educational programming for more than 10,000 New Jersey students.
$50 to $60. Ages 21 and up. 609-396-1776 or www.barracks.org.
