    I've really been enjoying your videos. Living in France now and your programs help me feel connected to my home.

    Thank you for another wonderful program on taverns, ACHS and Mr. Winkleman! You mentioned there is no big “Tavern Book”, and the original tavern license applications were lost, so I hope you are not surprised that some guesses need correction. At 13:53, you state that F. D. Smith was at Newman’s tavern during 1862-1863. That is incorrect. My ancestor, Frederick D. Smith, was at Seven Stars tavern then according to family stories. Fred was at Seven Stars after his brother-in-law, William L Holland, moved from a tavern near Fayetteville down to Seven Stars tavern but then died in August 1860. Holland’s son and widow ran Seven Stars until the end of 1860 and then moved back up to the Fayetteville area and had a license there in 1861. One family story: Fredrick had gone to Gettysburg for food supplies and on the way home, he was captured by the Rebels who thought he was a spy. They rode behind him the whole way home to be sure he was telling the truth. At 27:50, Andrew Heintzelman’s damage claim in 1868 did not contain reference to alcohol because Fred’s claim did. I hope that sheds some light. Thanks again. Kim Maxey, ggg granddaughter of Frederick D. Smith.

      That is fantastic that you have this family information. I hope the historical society has reached out to you to get additional details!

    So many buildings lost to fires. Is absolutely heartbreaking.

    We Liberated our share of alcohol as well when ever we would occupy this town. Many good memories, no one went to jail...however several did go to the hospital.

    Where's Herrs Tavern? They even have a Union cannon shot embedded in the wall above the bar.

    I’m confused, you mention the Seven Stars Post Office as running from 1867 to 1843. A slip of the tongue? Or a time traveling anomaly?

    Does the Seven Star's Tavern have a sattilite dish on it?

    How about Henry Hoke selling spirits around 1790s to 1800 there on Baltimore Street. That would have made his religious father quite upset

    it's a shame they didn't all serve a nice little Johnny Reb cocktail: 2 parts whatever booze is on hand and 1 part rat poison; guaranteed to quench even the hottest confederate thirst.
