Hanover Tavern

Henry assisted his father-in-law by greeting and serving guests, tending bar, and entertaining with his fiddle playing.Working at the tavern exposed Henry to the legal world and in April 1760 at the age of 24, he obtained a license to practice law [needs citation].The Foundation's goal was to restore, preserve and utilize the Tavern as an historical, educational, community and cultural resource center for the general public.The Foundation raised funds, restored historic buildings, and expanded the facility with restrooms, kitchens, and a refurbished theater.Currently, Tavern offered student field trips, educational history programs, historical exhibits, heritage musical events, lecture series, and Virginia Repertory Theatre performances.
