Tavernfest

Raise a mug and support Monmouth Country Historical Association at its fourth annual Tavernfest celebration on Friday, October 18th, from 7-10 pm.   The evening’s festivities will be held in a tent on the grounds of the 300-year old Allen House, the town’s most noted tavern in its day.   Located at the historic four corners of Broad and Sycamore Streets in Shrewsbury, this exciting event is for history lovers and beer drinkers alike!

Several hundred Tavernfest attendees will enjoy a private viewing of the Allen House and period entertainment, followed by an all-you-can-eat-and-drink evening of local beer specially crafted by Carton Brewing, wine provided by Rumson Wine & Spirits, and award-winning barbeque provided by Local Smoke BBQ.  A dessert buffet will feature tasty treats from a variety of local bakeries.  Guests will also enjoy entertainment, chance games, and a 50/50 raffle.  Proceeds from this event benefit the work of the Association.

Generous sponsors of the event include Complete Security Systems (CSS) of Marlboro which provides security at all five of the Association’s historical properties, Cooper Electric with multiple locations around New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, and Sandy and Vanessa Mulheren of Rumson.
