Guests will also enjoy colonial-inspired food, play authentic tavern games and learn boisterous songs and cheerful dances in a spirited colonial tavern atmosphere at Bedminster's historic Jacobus Vanderveer House and Museum.

Musical entertainment will be provided by the Enslows, a husband-wife duo who play colonial American tunes on an 18th century violin and hammered dulcimer.
