Ursuline College Students Complete Course Work at The Old Tavern

When we began talking about our goals as an organization we all agreed that education should be a part of our mission.  Therefore, we are excited for the opportunity to work with Historic Preservation students from Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio.  This spring we will help 2 students complete course work both at the Tavern and through observation and participation in our organizations activities.  Gail Peabody, a Graduate student, will complete a Conditions Assessment project at the Tavern and then present her findings to our board and her class.  Also joining us is Clay Fellows (of Unionville), a freshman, who will complete his “First Year to Career” micro-internship by shadowing members of our board and participating in organizational activities.  Clay has been visiting the Madison Historical Society in the last few weeks in his research into the Tavern history as part of his assignment, which will then be displayed during the upcoming Flea Market in Unionville.

On May 9th, the Unionville Boosters will hold their annual Around the Block Flea Market from 9-4.  After attending the Flea Market for the past couple years as advocates for the Tavern, we are excited to be promoting the Tavern at the Tavern!  We are planning an event within an event to demonstrate the Tavern as a viable destination in the community by highlighting the Taverns' past, present, and envisioned future as well as share our organizations information and raise funds.  In essence, we want to show new life at the Tavern.   We hope you will stop by the Tavern while searching for treasures in Unionville on May 9th!
