OUR MISSION
Gadsby's Tavern Museum Society is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all volunteer organization of civic spirited citizens who are dedicated to raising funds for the preservation, enhancement, and interpretation of the Gadsby's Tavern Museum and its history; as well as the promotion of its many educational, cultural, and outreach programs. We also help keep the spirit of the Tavern alive by holding events where Americans have been gathering for over 200 years.
GADSBY'S TAVERN HISTORY
Gadsby’s Tavern Museum is a registered National Historic Landmark so designated for its prominent role in the social, economic, political, and educational history of the United States. Comprising a Georgian style tavern built in 1785 and a larger Federal style hotel built in 1792, the buildings are named after John Gadsby, operator of the tavern and hotel from 1796 to 1808.
John Gadsby hosted numerous important statesmen during his tenure. Six early Presidents (Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and John Quincy Adams) wined and dined at Gadsby’s, as did the Marquis de Lafayette. In fact, George Washington attended the 1799 and 1798 Birthnight Balls held in his honor at Gadsby’s (then known as the City Hotel,) a tradition that continues to today. More of the Tavern's story is told on the Museum's website.

Gadsby's Tavern Museum
134 N. Royal Street, Alexandria, VA 22314 - United States
703-746-4242
Gadsby's Tavern Museum consists of two buildings, a ca. 1785 tavern and the 1792 City Tavern and Hotel. In those seven short years, the young Republic began to take shape through the conversations and choices being made in these tavern spaces. The impact of these choices and how far to extend power—political, economic, and social—is still being felt today. Named for Englishman John Gadsby who operated them from 1796 to 1808, the tavern businesses were central to Alexandria’s port-based economy, offering spaces to dine, entertain, and spend the night. A large enslaved labor force made Gadsby’s renowned hospitality possible. Notable patrons that enjoyed this hospitality included George and Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the marquis de Lafayette.
Guests can walk through the museum at their own pace, enjoying period games, reading newspapers from 1787, and even trying out the bed in the dormer sleeping space! As space permits, guests can also redeem their pass for a guided tour, offered at 1:15, 2:15, and 3:15 p.m.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.

Restaurant Review
Gadsby's Tavern in Old Town Alexandria is a historic landmark dating back to the 18th century. The tavern was frequented by George Washington Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, and James Monroe. The restaurant has been restored to maintain the appearance of more than 200 years ago.
Servers are dressed in colonial period costumes, the men in knee breeches and the women wearing smocks. Roving musicians visit your table giving you personalized attention. Gadsby's tavern maintains its elegance and the menu has been created to appeal to the modern palate.
Appetizers include items such as Baked Brie en Croute stuffed with blueberries and pecans with raspberry coulis or Martha’s Puff Pastry - Virginia ham, Scottish smoked salmon and Chesapeake lump crabmeat with dill sauce & pepper relish.
Some of the main courses are authentic colonial period food like the Gentleman’s Pye, Cedar-Grilled Filet Mignon, Slow-Roasted Hereford Prime Rib Roast with Yorkshire Pudding and George Washington’s Favorite, a Cider-Glazed Duckling with Smoked Bacon-Sage Spoonbread. Since these dishes are realistically quite heavy fare, the chef also prepares some lighter dishes such as the Pecan-Crusted Mahi-Mahi Meuniere and Jumbo Lump Crabcakes.
The white Chocolate Balloon is sinfully delicious! Other tempting desserts are Gingerbread with cinnamon icing, English Trifle, and Rum-Laced Banana Bread Pudding.

Gadsby’s Tavern Museum and the Real Stories Behind the Ghost Legend
By vivienne brown , october 11, 2023 11:13 am.
It’s a dark, cold stormy night and the lights just went out. Suddenly there is a thump in the hallway…did you hear that? Thus begins the telling of the ghost stories 230 years in the making at Gadby’s Tavern Museum in Alexandria, Va. Gadby's Tavern Museum is not just a place of history, but also a spot where history intertwines with the supernatural. The two buildings that house the museum have witnessed centuries of intrigue, hosting notable politicians and figures such as George and Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, James Monroe, and the Marquis de Lafayette. The tavern, built in 1785, and the City Tavern and Hotel, constructed in 1792, have been at the center of many a historic moment. But it is the ghostly tales that truly captivate visitors. The Haunting Legends Anne Brunton Merry Wignell Warren : A celebrated actress, Anne Brunton met a tragic fate at Gadsby's Tavern. She not only lost her infant son within these walls but also her own life. Her presence is said to linger, and her story echoes through time. The Female Stranger : In 1816, a mysterious couple arrived at the tavern. The young woman, aged 23 years and eight months, was gravely ill. Desperate for help, they sought the city's best doctor, but her condition only worsened. On Oct. 14, she drew her last breath, making the people surrounding her swear an oath never to reveal her or her husband's identity. They kept their promise, and her grave in St. Paul’s cemetery remains marked only with the words 'To the memory of the Female Stranger.' Her ghost is believed to haunt both the cemetery and Room 8 at Gadsby’s Tavern, where she drew her final breath. Even today, the staff and visitors to Gadsby’s Tavern Museum report unsettling experiences. In the historic ballroom and the infamous East bedroom, also known as Room 8, where both the Female Stranger and Anne Brunton met their fates, there are tales of unexplainable phenomena. From pale apparitions peering from the windows to unexplained candles flickering in empty rooms, the echoes of the past are never far away. Hosted by Kristy Huettner, guide and narrator of the tour, these experiences set a ghostly tone. Kristy shared tales of the unexplained, making virtual attendees shiver with stories of pale specters, mysterious candles, and apparitions making a ghostly presence at annual balls. The program delivered 60 minutes of nail-biting fun and speculation. For those brave enough to delve into such eerie history, Gadsby’s Tavern and Museum was the first of three Thrilling Thursdays virtual tours presented by AARP Virginia. So, if you're ready to explore the supernatural side of history, Thrilling Thursdays awaits your virtual presence, where the past and the paranormal come together in spine-tingling adventure.
