RICHARD BLAND TAVERN
"At the Sign of the Bull's Head," is Wil.
liamsburg's most ancient hostelry. Richard
Bland, revolutionary patriot, was born here
in 1710. Henry Wetherburn, first keeper of
the Raleigh Tavern, bought it in 1734 and
added the new part, the Bull's Head Room,
which was, and still is, the dining room.
The ceilar was well filled with rare wines
and his punch was so famed that the father
of Thomas Jefferson as the deed states, bought
200 acres of land for "the biggest bowl of
Henry Wetherbum's arrack punch.
Here Governor Dinwiddie was banqueted
upon his arrival as Colonial Governor in 1751.
General George Washington, in his diary,
mentions that he enjoyed the Tavern's hos-
pitality many times.
This historical house is still open for
guests, also meals are served in the famous
Bull's Head dining room.
