Tons of fascinating stories and colloquialisms to found along this tour! The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, even chatting with me after the tour.
Very interesting place. Very knowledgeable tour guide. This place actually existed in the 1700s.
RISING SUN TAVERN - Home of Charles Washington, brother to George Washington, converted to a tavern AFTER : ) his mother's death. Just a few blocks from Mary Washington's house. A neat place to go at Christmas time, warmly decorated and attended by ladies in Colonial dress serving cookies of the period and hot spiced cider (good on a cold winter night).
Wonderful experience. Very informative, narrator made you feel like you had traveled back to George Washington time.
Visited it once and one day hope to visit it again. Got a wonderful tour from a guide who treated me and my mom like we were visitors in the 18th century. He explained how the tavern operated, prices, services, how people who (in some cases could not do simple math) kept track of their drinks, postal service, what was available at the time in room and board. Want a bath? River is just down the street. Best guided historical tour I have EVER had. But that was many years ago and I am not sure what is available right now. Still, a lovely building with a LOT of history and a good site to see along side the Battlefield.
