Gadsbys Haunted Tavern in Alexandria, Virginia and back to 1749 and was first established by Charles and Anne Mason when the town operated as a Seaport.

The tavern was named in honor of British entrepreneur John Gadsby who first leased the building.

In 1778, the land was subdivided following the Revolutionary War.

This historical, Georgian style, tavern was later refurbished with ballroom and three further stories being added. 

By the turn of the twentieth century sadly the site had fallen into disrepair and was threatened with prospects of demolition.

However, the City of Alexandria, along with Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, intervened ensuring the site was honorably preserved.

The tavern reopened in 1976 as a museum showcasing the culture of Alexandria.

Today the museum offers tours and is part of the American Whiskey Trail.

Gadsbys Tavern is renowned for it paranormal activities.

Staff have witnessed candles spontaneously igniting and furniture being unexplainably rearranged.

Full spectrum apparitions of Americas very own forefathers, whose portraits are displayed here, (George Washington, James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson) have all been sighted amidst the tavern.

Many guests have encountered a female entity wearing a black lace veil in Room 8.

It is believed this may be the spirit of a 23 year old Caribbean woman who checked in here, with her husband, during 1816. 

They stayed in Room 8. The lady had explained the black veil was to cover a facial ailment and the lady did not wish to disclose her identity. The woman later passed away and was buried in the local St Pauls Cemetery. 

Her headstone ominously read ‘The Female Stranger’.
