Andrew Mershon Tavern Album

Clare Mershon compiled this album of Andrew Mershon Tavern photos that will interest every Mershon history buff. The 23-page album contains a mainfloor plan, 8 historic black and white exterior photographs, plus 17 recent color photographs showing both the exterior and interior. There is a photograph of artifacts found on site and donated to the Mershon Association in 2006 by Elmer Smith, former owner and restorer of the tavern. Included are two notices from the 1779 New Jersey Gazette referring to Andrew Mershon and a section from a 1781 British army map showing the location of Mershon’s Tavern as related to Trenton, Maidenhead (now Lawrenceville) and Princeton.

1. Tour of Andrew’s Tavern
   With Elmer Smith, the longtime owner who carefully did the restoration, doing the narration and studies the history of Andrew’s ownership of the tavern. This production was done professionally  under the direction of E. Clare Mershon. Owning the DVD/Video is valuable because of references to Mershon’s  and because of the rich insights of colonial life at the time, our ancestors lived in New Jersey.

The oldest part of Weedie’s house was the ca. 1740 home of Houghton Mershon. The principle video narrators are Noel Barton, Dr. Jim Mershon, Weedie Stokes, and Grant Simmons. Trish Baker, Senior Writer for television programs and spouse of Grant Simmons directed the video shooting.
