The Raleigh Tavern was the stage for much of Virginia’s revolutionary drama. Some of the American Revolution’s most fateful conversations happened in the building’s Apollo Room. As you tour this site, you will learn about the extraordinary events that took place here, as well as about the rhythms of life inside an 18th-century tavern. Established around 1717, the Raleigh Tavern was a mainstay of Williamsburg’s Duke of Gloucester Street.
