Open House Tours for CELEBRATE WESTON day

Our May Open House Tours will take place on Saturday May 20th (rain date May 21st) to coincide with CELEBRATE WESTON events in our town.  We will offer tours from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will also have a pop up plant sale presented by the Country Garden Club of Weston and a pop up limited Barn Sale on the front lawn.

Most months we offer free Second Sunday Open Houses at the Golden Ball Tavern Museum on the second Sunday of the month from 1-3 p.m., January to November (in December we have a special Holiday Open House, date tbd). To learn about other special event openings you can visit our website at www.gbtmuseum.org.  Join us for Celebrate Weston Day or visit another time on a Second Sunday!

Our guides will lead you through the house and tell stories of the Jones family and our wonderful revolutionary history.  The museum has a vast collection of original artifacts and furnishings on display

The Golden Ball Tavern was established and operated by prominent Weston resident, Isaac Jones.  The tavern "at the sign of the Golden Ball" operated as an inn from 1770 to 1793 and played a pivotal role in the unfolding of the Revolutionary War when it served as a base for British spies. The house and Tavern were later occupied and carefully preserved for 200 years by six generations of the Jones family until it was acquired by the Golden Ball Tavern Trust in the 1960's. 

Here history still lives and breathes, telling the story of change through time. Come and explore this unique Revolutionary era tavern and learn of "the spies who went out in the cold", the "other" tea party, and the eventful visit of Paul Revere's men.

The Tavern is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is entirely self-sustaining.
