The Phelps Tavern Museum will present History @ The Tavern on Saturday, February 11, 2006. Performances will begin at 4 PM and continue throughout the evening. The focus of this living history event is on the story of colonial Simsbury's search for mineral resources. The Phelps Players - a living history troupe - brings the tale of copper discovery to life through historical skits ranging from the town meeting that organized the Symsbury Mines to Dr. Samuel Higley's early New England monetary token - the Higley Copper. The performance price includes music, dancing and a tavern supper. Tickets for the scheduled performances must be purchased in advance and may be obtained by calling 860 658-2500. Adults are $10, children ages 6 and up $6 and children under 6 free with adult.
