The historic Tun Tavern to get new home as a tavern and museum in Philadelphia.

It is one of the nation's most historic buildings that existed for nearly 100 years at the intersection of Water Street and Tun Alley between 1693 and 1781. A historical hub marked its place in history on Front Street, near Sansom Walk.

The Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation is a group of business leaders who intend to re-create the colonial-era institution as a nonprofit tavern and museum, just in time for Homecoming 250, the celebration of the Navy and Marine Corps in 2026. Other Tun Taverns exist, one in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and another at the National Museum of the Marine Corps near Quantico, Virginia.A post shared by Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation
