SUMMARY:Tavern Tours
DESCRIPTION:It’s like history class. But with beer.\n \nWhere else could Revolutionary-era Philadelphians get a pint\, complain to their governor\, and crowdsource medical advice at the same time?

Experienced tour guides will take you on a walking tour through the heart of Old City and share the stories which unfolded in the many taverns which dotted the city. Begin the tour with a short beer tasting at the museum\, a mid-point beer at Independence Beer Garden courtesy of the museum\, and an opportunity to purchase additional beer at the tour’s conclusion at A Man Full of Trouble Tavern\, a bar operating in the oldest standing tavern building in Philadelphia. Registration includes your a free tasting and beer at Independence Beer Garden. Beer at A Man Full of Trouble is available upon customer purchase. \nKnow Before You Go\n\nThe tour is just over one mile of walking on mostly flat terrain\, including a few paths with cobblestones. The walking portion of the tour is approximately 90 minutes. The path follows accessible sidewalks and will utilize curb cuts.\nThe tour will end at Man Full of Trouble Tavern\, where visitors can stay as long as they wish until closing time.\nBathrooms are available at the start and end of the tour. The museum will not be accessible at the end of the tour and participants should not plan on returning to the museum after the tour.\nTavern Tours will be held rain or shine\, please dress appropriately to be walking around outside and for the forecasted weather.
