PHILADELPHIA, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation, Inc. (Foundation), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, today announced it acquired land to rebuild and reestablish an authentic reproduction of the original Tun Tavern building in Philadelphia.

It is also the early first meeting place of the Friendly Sons & Daughters of St. Patrick (established 1771), the Society of St. George (founded in 1772, with earlier meetings at Tun Tavern), and is purportedly the place where John Adams and the Naval Committee met and drafted documents that outline the structure for what became the United States Navy (1775). A groundbreaking ceremony is planned for November 2024 in advance of the Navy and Marine Corps' 250th Homecoming Celebration in 2025.
