In recognition of the importance of this remarkable building and the events that have occurred within its walls, the Foundation is committed to the preservation of the City Tavern (c. 1796) and its contributions to the Georgetown community and Washington, DC at large. Independent of the City Tavern Club, the Foundation endeavors to raise funds to provide for repairs and continued restoration and p
reservation of this incredible Washington landmark. The Foundation features exciting educational opportunities, including unique lectures, guided tours, and cultural events. Our events highlight the City Tavern’s history, its famous patrons and guests over the years, its historical relationship with slavery, and its 18th-century architecture and interiors, among numerous other subjects. We are also committed to developing meaningful relationships with local historic preservation and civic organizations to work in tandem to promote Georgetown’s unique architectural, historic, and social heritage.
