Truly a Public House: Women and Tavern Keeping on the Dover Green
During the Colonial Era Taverns, often called Public Houses of Entertainment, were multipurpose structures meant to serve the community. In Dover, Delaware, there were two taverns on opposite sides of the Green and during different stretches of time, both were run by women. Come learn about the Bell and the Battell families and how their women shaped both Dover and American history.
Presented by Jane Pilato.
