Raleigh Tavern, Historical tavern in Colonial Williamsburg, United States
The Raleigh Tavern features white weatherboard construction with eighteen dormer windows and stands on Duke of Gloucester Street near the Capitol Building.
After Governor Botetourt dissolved the House of Burgesses in 1769, members gathered in the Apollo Room to establish the Non-Importation Agreement against British taxation.
The Apollo Room served as a banquet hall where Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and other patriots met to discuss colonial governance and revolution.
Visitors can explore the reconstructed tavern, which opened to the public in 1932, to learn about colonial social and political life.
A lead bust of Sir Walter Raleigh marked the entrance of the original structure until it burned down in 1859.
