Dr. Ford will speak on the archaeological excavation of the former site of the historic Swan Tavern in Charlottesville. The tavern was owned by John Jouett. His son, Jack Jouett, gained fame in 1781 by riding over 40 miles through the night from the Cuckoo Tavern in Louisa to warn Virginia legislators meeting in Charlottesville of approaching British cavalry. Among those who escaped were Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Harrison, John Tyler, and Richard Henry Lee. The young Daniel Boone was one of seven captured and briefly detained.”
