Truly a Public House: Women and Tavern Keeping on the Dover Green

In Dover, Delaware, there were two taverns on opposing sides of the Green and during different stretches of time, both were run by women. Come learn about the Bell Family and the Battell family and how their women shaped both Dover and American history.
