This is from Explore Park (yesterday's post). This is Brugh's Tavern. From what I can gather on the internet, this tavern was constructed between 1780 and 1800 as a private residence. It also served as a tavern during the early decades of the 19th century while under the ownership of the Daniel Brugh family. It's been closed since we've lived here and I've always been excited for the place to open back up. I hope it will be soon! We packed the cooler and then brought it up here on this nice porch and had a picnic lunch in the shade while watching the living history demo. We had perfect seats!
Linking up with Rural Thursday :)
Terrific shot! I hope it opens up soon, too, as I would like to see more of it.
ReplyDeleteThat would be neat if it opened back up. I used to run the Explore Park trails during my lunchbreak sometimes when I worked.
ReplyDeleteHi Tanya I would love to go inside. B
ReplyDeleteYou were very clever to find a perfect viewing shot. Old-fashioned porches are great places to rest and relax.

ReplyDeleteYou must have had the best seats in the house!
ReplyDeleteThe bench feels to be 'stronger than time itself'. A great picture. Please have you all a good Friday.

ReplyDeleteOh, I hope they do open it again! What a wonderful porch! I would love to sit there every evening! If it's restored it will be such a treasure! (I wonder if there's a "porch" meme?)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is the place!
