Very cool history. We did a behind the scenes tour and learned a lot of interesting stuff.
I went to the Rising Sun Tavern on 9/15/2019; I live locally and wanted to check out the history. I loved the building and the setting, the period pieces were amazing and the creaky floorboards just added to the ambiance. The two tour guides working on this day were both extremely knowledgeable and I was impressed to see a young man with such information. I purchased my heritage passes here and asked casually if I could take pictures; I was politely told that I could take as many as I wanted of the grounds but none of the interior. I completely understood and politely put my camera away and enjoyed the remainder of my tour. While in the middle of my tour a couple came in and made a donation; at this point I was with my young guide in the front of the tavern. I turned to see if the visiting couple would be joining the tour only to find that the other guide was allowing them to take photographs on their cell phones of each area of the tavern. I was a bit put off by this and glanced at the other guide...only to met with raised eyebrows. To the owner...the Rising Sun Tavern is a wealth of history for our area and I am grateful that you have taken the time to preserve it and allow the public to visit. I also understand the reasoning behind not allowing photographs of the interior, a policy that I observed and adhered to as instructed. It dismays me, however, that your guides show favoritism to those that can make a \donation\ and then allow them to stroll throughout the property in full view of other patrons snapping photographs that others are prohibited from. In the future, please apply your photographing rules to all your patrons, not just those that can make a \donation\ outside of the purchase of passes and items.
A Must visit!!! I take all my out of town guest here. I love it!
A wonderful tour! Our guide brought history to life as she explained what the accommodations, food, and local customs were like in a colonial tavern. Of particular interest was the origin of various sayings like \double fisted drinker\. Not to be missed!
