Friends of the Indian King Tavern Museum

The Indian King celebrated our first president’s 279th birthday on Saturday, Feb. 19 with a George Washington reenactor, and crafts and stories for kids. There were a record number of people in attendance and everyone present enjoyed the chance to go back into history for the afternoon.

John Lopes, the George Washington reenactor, described life in the colonial era and answered questions from eager attendees.

Lopes, a professional actor for almost 20 years both in Philadelphia and California, has portrayed George Washington in various theatre productions along the East Coast.

The event was so successful, the Indian King plans to have George Washington return next year.
