The Gadsby’s Tavern Museum Society hosts special events throughout the year to support the museum and bring the community together. These events take place in the same historic spaces where Americans gathered more than 200 years ago.
Events often include live music, historical demonstrations, auctions, and themed gatherings. Proceeds from these events help support museum programs, preservation projects, and educational initiatives.
Upcoming events are announced here so visitors and supporters can join the Society in celebrating Alexandria’s history while helping sustain the museum for the future.
