R. Charlton's Coffeehouse
Williamsburg, Virginia
Overview
Buy a ticket to sample coffee the 18th-century way at R. Charlton’s Coffeehouse. Sip on a steamy brew of coffee, tea or chocolate and imagine the Williamsburg elite doing the same as they talked politics.
Pause on the front porch. It was here that George Mercer, a stamp agent from England, took refuge as an angry mob chased him in protest of England’s Stamp Act. Governor Fauquier kept the mob from overrunning the coffeehouse.
