Martin's Tavern Featured in Chester County Night School Course

The Friends of Martin's Tavern is proud to be hosting and helping to facilitate a new course for the Chester County Night School. From the Fall/Winter 2009 Catalog of Courses:

Historic Tour of Martin’s Tavern and Lunch at the Four Dogs Tavern
Facilitated by Alma Lyng, FOMT officer

Take a step back into history and rediscover the evening when Squire Cheyney and Col. Hannum strategized about warning General Washington of the British attack at Brandywine Battlefield.
Our adventure will begin with lunch at the Four Dogs Tavern in Marshallton, an 1800s in that served as a refuge for travelers and locals as well as a militia meeting place.
Then a short walk will take you to Martin’s Tavern where tour guides will tell the story of the tavern and how it connects to the history of Chester County.
The taverns ruins have been lovingly re-pointed and restored to an accurate historic footprint of the original building. Lunch is included in the fee.

The fee for the course is $35. The course number is SC1241. The meeting point is the Four Dogs Tavern at the corner of West Strasburg and Sugars Bridge Rds on Saturday, October 17th and the course runs from 11:30 AM till 2 PM.
