The Red Horse Tavern, sitting along the Boston Post Road, the major east-west route to and from Boston and New York state, was crucial as a place to hear the news & other current events, engage in commerce and conduct militia drills. Whichever side controlled the Tavern could control the flow of supplies, troops and information.

The Redcoats are determined to wrest control, no matter the cost, while the Colonists will do all they can to stop them and send them back to Boston. Who will control the tavern? Come and find out!
