VA Rep - Martha Mitchell Calling
2023-09-29 - 2023-10-29 | Hanover Tavern
A humorous, yet poignant, exploration of Martha Mitchell (Debra Wagoner), legendary wife of Watergate conspirator and Attorney General John Mitchell (Joe Pabst). Flamboyant, formidable and often misunderstood, Mitchell demanded the truth even when no one believed her. Though ostracized as a traitor and abandoned by her family, she never lost her spirit, even as she called for Nixon’s resignation. As Nixon himself told David Frost during their famous 1977 interview, “If it hadn’t been for Martha Mitchell, there’d have been no Watergate.”
Be sure to make reservations for lunch or dinner, before or after the show, at Hanover Tavern Restaurant & Pub. 804-537-5050

Author Michael Cecere’s new book focuses on how Virginia’s capital responded and adjusted to the war, how the city was forever changed by it, and how a wartime decision that seemingly doomed Williamsburg to obscurity and decline, planted the seeds for its future restoration and development into one of the premier historic sites in America.

National Nonprofit Day!
2023-08-17
Our front porch is more than just a shady piece of the façade…it’s a gathering place, a spot for making memories, for celebrating life’s moments…and it’s in need of some repair.
It’s been 5 years since the porch was painted and, during that time, constant exposure to the elements has led to peeling paint, water damage, and wood rot. It is important we address these issues before further damage is done.

As the stewards of this historic building, our mission statement clearly puts the most importance on the preservation and protection of the Tavern’s structure. We are asking for your assistance with this pledge.
We hope that, on National Nonprofit Day, you will consider donating to this important cause so that Historic Hanover Tavern continues to be a vibrant center of community life for another 300 years!

Speaker Series: To Hell or Richmond
2023-05-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Hanover Tavern
In the spring of 1862, George McClellan and his massive army were slowly making their way up the Virginia Peninsula. Their goal: Capture the Confederate capital and end the rebellion. “To Hell or Richmond,” one Federal artillery unit vowed, sewing the words onto their flag.
Authors Doug Crenshaw Jr. and Drew Gruber will discuss their new book that follows the armies on their trek up the peninsula. The stakes grew enormous, surprises awaited, and the soldiers themselves had only two possible destinations in mind.
This is a FREE event, but reservations are appreciated! Pre-event dinner reservations available by calling 804-537-5050.
