The TAVERN RANGERS grew from the first volunteers to clear the weeds and over-growth in 1992.  They now identify, preserve, recycle, maintain materials and tools, sort out colonial and more recent history, artifacts and archeological finds, and anything else related to the building and grounds of RH/HT.

 The following describes some of the Ranger activities in pictures.

Reconstructing the second-story veranda.

Tavern Rangers recovered old bricks in and around Heathsville to build walkways and area below the Veranda.

A kitchen for the restaurant was added to the back of the old building.

An old meat shed was moved from property near-by and will be incorporated into the complex.

Following are  pictures of Rangers

working on the rooms inside.
