Modern folks are invited to step back in time at a Yuletide Feast in the  Ordinary at Michie Tavern. Strolling Tavern musicians entertain guests dining by candlelight. The bill of fare features a banquet of Virginia favorites including country ham, roast turkey, and an array of delicacies appropriate to the season. The Ordinary is decorated in festive 18th-century tradition, featuring fresh greens and fruits. Also on these two special evenings, a variety of special activities are offered in the original Tavern. Visitors of all ages are invited to sing traditional carols with Tavern musicians. Mr. Michie’s apprentice will be serving tankard drinks from the original tap bar as living history interpreters and story-tellers entertain guests, and period refreshments will be served from the 18th-century tap bar. Admission is free to the original Tavern on these two evenings. Reservations are required.  683 Thomas Jefferson Parkway/Rt. 53. 977-1234.
