Tours Available at the Museum

Just a reminder - even though it is cold outside and although there may be snow on the ground, the Merchants and Drovers Tavern Museum is still open for tours during the winter! We have over 10 rooms fully furnished in the style of the 1820's, and offer individual and group tours by a costumed staff member! If you want to experience tavern and hotel life during the 1820's, as it was in Rahway, the state of New Jersey, and the United States, either come on down during our regular operating hours, or contact the office at (732) 381-0441 to make an appointment! Happy Holidays!

Welcome to The Tavern Keeper Blog!

I would like to welcome everyone to
The Tavern Keeper blog, your weekly dose of information related to events, happenings, history, and much more related to the historic Merchants and Drovers Tavern Museum, located in Rahway, New Jersey. This historic site is more than just a tavern and hotel, but rather a staple of the local community of Rahway, as well as a rare historical gem of New Jersey, and an inside-look into life in 1820's America.
