ALTHOUGH WE COULDN’T HAVE IT INSIDE THE TAVERN WE CELEBRATED ON THE GROUNDS OF THE INDIAN KING TAVERN. THE EVENT WAS A SUCCESS AS MORE THAN 270 PATRONS ONCE AGAIN ENJOYED COLONIAL STYLE BEERS, FOODS, AND MUSIC WITH HUGH CREIGHTON AS HOST IN THE BACKYARD OF THE TAVERN. FOOD FROM THE BRITISH CHIP SHOP IN HADDONFIELD, RAW OYSTERS (A COLONIAL FAVORITE) FROM THE POUR HOUSE IN HADDON TOWNSHIP, AND CRAFT BEERS FROM YARDS BREWERY HELPED TO MAKE THE DAY MEMORABLE. A SPECIAL PERMIT WAS ATTAINED TO SERVE BEER IN HADDONFIELD, A TOWN THAT HAS BEEN DRY SINCE 1873. PROCEEDS FROM THE EVENT WILL BE USED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE INDIAN KING TAVERN TO SUPPORT THE TAVERN. IN 2013 TWO BEER TASTING EVENTS ARE BEING PLANNED, MAY 18,2013 AND IN SEPTEMBER.

The Friends of the Indian King Tavern will be at the Fair with an Indian King Tavern display. Garry Stone, a Friends’ Officer, will also be representing the Monmouth Battlefield. Come join us for a very interesting day!

The State History Fair has an array of activities for people of all ages. A Juried Art Exhibit, Colonial Conjurer Magic Show, Tuckers’ Tales Puppet Theater, Antiques appraisal, a GPS Cache Challenge, a visit by Martha Washington, and open hearth cooking are just a few of the activities available. There are numerous other things to do and people to visit at the Fair to help you travel back in time, including our very own Indian King Tavern.
