Happy Independence Day!
In 18th-century America, taverns were a common meeting place to discuss current issues, such as the colonists’ fight for independence. At the DAR Museum, the Georgia period room is a replica of one such tavern.
Tondee’s Tavern in Savannah, Georgia, was owned by Peter Tondee. Following his death in 1775, his wife Lucy took over, and the tavern was used as a meeting place for patriots opposed to British rule.
We are closed for Independence Day, but resume our regular hours on Saturday, July 5. Please visit the DAR Museum to tour our special exhibition, Fighting for Freedom, and our amazing period rooms, including the Georgia tavern!
