Did you ever wonder where that saying comes from? This activity will solve the mystery. You will learn the mysteries of colonial nocturnal life when you experience a visit to the Jones Tavern. Following this interactive experience, you will be invited to share in “breaking fast” in our Tavern dining room feasting on a traditional Colonial American meal.

Later, you are invited to head over to the Faulkner House to participate in the Hidden Treasures Program sponsored by Freedoms Way where you will have a reception with Mrs. Faulkner in the recently restored bed chamber. She will show off the recently restored Col. Faulkner field desk which was also used to conduct the General Court in the Faulkner House Great room.

Reception invitations will be provided at the door to be presented upon entering the bed chamber. RSVP is highly recommended.

This program is being conducted in conjunction with Acton 250.
