Tavern Night at the Dewees Tavern
Historic Trappe sets a German-themed buffet inside the Dewees Tavern on Thursday, Sept. 24 from 5 to 8, with wine, hard cider, and locally made beer poured alongside dinner and dessert. Seats are through Historic Trappe, and the old tavern room does the atmosphere work itself.
