Travelers weary from riding the rough trails that crisscrossed the Republic were greeted in Washington by John Lott and Mr. Roberts with their taverns and inns. Join us as we take a look at these refuges from the Texas weather and the fare and entertainment they offered! Join us on Saturday, October 19th as we look at these places of community and shelter. "There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern." ~ Samuel Johnson
