Tavern Talks returns, with a visit to Wild Air Beerworks in Asbury Park.
In this interactive event, attendees will get the chance to talk with reenactors and draw their own conclusions about the past.
Wild Air Beerworks hosts RevolutionNJ and friends to explore the aftermath of the Revolution in New Jersey. Participants are invited to imagine that you are in a colonial tavern after the Treaty of Paris was signed. The tavern air smells like beer and fresh government. Reenactors and participants will come up with new and exciting ways to fill the British Empire-shaped hole left behind by the War. What kind of government do we want? What will representation look like? Who will have a say in how things are done? What exactly should this new constitution consider?
Participants will explore the questions faced by everyday people in the wake of the American Revolution and decide the fate of our young republic. You might find that the past is closer than you think.
