Hosmer’s Inn Tavern Dinners

The Sylvester Hosmer Inn, built in 1818 on the Ontario and Genesee Turnpike, a few miles west of the Genesee River near Avon (but now located in the Museum’s Historic Village), is now serving traditional tavern dinners on select weekend evenings in the fall (September/October).

Meet engaging characters from the past and enjoy a delicious four-course meal that includes dishes prepared using receipts (called recipes today) from early 19th-century cookbooks. Learn about 19th-century dining customs and share the latest news from the Genesee Country and beyond. You’ll also have a chance to explore the inn upstairs and down. Between the final two courses of your meal, take in the sights and smells of the fall around the Historic Village as you enjoy a private lantern tour with one of our hostesses. You may find it hard to journey back to the 21st century.

Each evening’s private dining experience can accommodate up to a maximum of 15 people.
All dinners are $75/person ($70/member) and begin promptly at 6:00pm.
Wine and beer are available at the time of registration for an additional cost.
Hosmer Inn Dinners are offered in the fall only and sell out each year, so be sure to make your reservation early!
